About: This expansive farm features 6 “wonders”: the Stone Bridge, the Guatuso Cross, the Giant Rock, the Tiger Cave, the Waterfall, and the Jabillo pools. It is quite a feat to reach all 6 in one day, as they are not all on the same loop, and the distances are great. It is about 4 kilometers down to the waterfall, with 3 loops offshooting from the main road. You will cover over 10 kilometers if you want to reach them all, and the terrain is moderate to difficult. There is an incline, and the paths are rocky at times. All that being said, it is a beautiful place to disconnect and get a lot of exercise. You can swim in the waterfall, either in your clothes (they will dry on the way back up) or bring a swimsuit. Pets are allowed, but use judgement based on their health.
