What people say

"This beautiful waterfall sits at the end of a lush 3.7 mile trail just 45 minutes from Manuel Antonio. The best time to visit is when the park opens at 7am! There are two entrances on google maps we chose the entrance "Nauyaca Waterfalls / Cataratas Nauyaca". The entrance fee is $10. I highly recommend taking the shuttle for $15 instead of hiking if you want to be alone or if you don’t enjoy moderate hiking. Bring a bathing suit and water shoes because you'll want to swim!"
Kyla Morris
"The Nauyaca Waterfall is the most beautiful in Costa Rica. At Nauyaca, there are two enormously powerful waterfalls on different levels with natural swimming pools. There are two entrances and multiple ways to get down to the waterfall. It’s about 1.5 – 2 hours away, making it a perfect to do from Manuel Antonio. Depart as early as possible from Manuel Antonio to avoid the crowds at the waterfalls,"
Carly Dowhos
"Nothing like this view. A short drive from Uvita in the city of Dominical but worth it as a small excursion."
