Santa Lucía Falls Waterfall Trek Tour
4 HoursAbout this tour
Embark on a four‑hour journey into the heart of the primary rainforest, where two rivers carve a lush canyon through giant ferns and wild orchids. Follow leaf‑strewn paths to three towering waterfalls and dozens of hidden cascades that spill into emerald‑green pools. Dive into crystal‑clear waters and let the roar of the falls rejuvenate your spirit. At the end of the trek, savor a homemade lunch prepared by Yajaira, featuring locally sourced rice and beans, yucca, Santa Lucía–style fried chicken, and fresh tropical fruit and juice—all grown right on the property. Bring lightweight clothing, swimwear, and sturdy shoes to enjoy this immersive jungle adventure fully.
