It's hard to choose a favorite waterfall in Costa Rica as there are so many incredible ones, but Vuelta del Canon would be it for us. The trail that leads to the waterfalls is a two-hour hike each way, and it's super scenic with lots of jungle walks, river crossings, and adventure. The waterfall itself is one of a kind and super picturesque. It has two levels, the vast waterfall towering from the cliffs into a pool and the lower small waterfall going down into another pool which is excellent for swimming and refreshing from the hike. The water is cold all year round but so clear and fresh.

We recommend visiting this waterfall with a local guide. You can contact the company, Senderos del Toro, on WhatsApp at +506 8982 0502. These are young, local guys that will show you their home. We love that this supports the local community of Bajos del Toro.
