Aquiares Waterfall

Posted on December 29, 2024August 9, 2024 by Ultimate Guide

About: This waterfall is down in the Aquiares Valley. It is free to access, as access is not controlled. Therefore it can be confusing to know where to park and where the hike starts. There are two entrances, one that will take you to the bottom of the falls and the other that takes you to the top of the falls. The first requires a short but steep hike, and also a river crossing that reaches knee height during the dry season. You will see a smaller waterfall on the way, but continue on to reach the final destination. Ask locals for directions or read reviews on Google to find your way.

Province: Cartago

Starting from: Downtown Cartago

Time to reach from starting location: 1 hour 12 minutes

Time needed for activity: 1-2 hours

Kid friendly: Yes

What to wear and bring: Comfortable clothes, walking or hiking shoes, sandals or water shoes, swimsuit, towel, change of clothes, sunscreen, insect repellent, hat, sunglasses, poncho or rain jacket, camera, backpack, water, snacks, pack lunch

Tips: The water level and flow goes up during the rainy season and it is not recommended to do this hike at this time.
