We all know that Dominical<\/a> has paradisiac beaches<\/a> and the best views in the South Pacific, but there\u2019s a not-so-hidden treasure called the Nauyaca Waterfall. This is one of the main attractions here\u2026 This activity is also a great way to alternate between the ocean, sand and constant heat by spending an amazing day within the forest and the fresh translucent water that falls from the Bar\u00fa River. <\/p>\n

The name of this waterfall makes reference to a venomous snake that inhabits the area and is well known by locals. This well-known waterfall is located only 20 minutes away from Dominical beach, or if you are coming from San Jos\u00e9 it will take you 3 hours and a half. Known as a natural beauty, this waterfall attracts tourists and locals all year round. Nevertheless, the dry season is the best time to visit, since the hiking trails are less messy rather than during the green season. <\/p>\n

Come prepared! Bring your snacks and refrigeration for the entire day, sunblock, insect repellent, comfy clothes, a bathing suit, and good sneakers.<\/p>\n

Now, let\u2019s start the journey\u2026<\/p>\n

Once you get to the area, there is a big sign indicating the entrance and the parking space. Here you\u2019ll have to pay a fee to enter and you can either choose to go by yourself, with a guide or booking a tour such as horseback riding or escalating. The waterfall entering hour is from 7:00 am to 2:00 pm during Monday to Saturday and on Sundays at 8:00 am till 2:30 pm. Everyone must go out of the park at 4:30 pm, this is a way to regulate the number of people that enter as well as making sure that there\u2019s still daylight to get out. This enough time to enjoy the waterfalls at it best. <\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve paid the entrance, you are ready to start walking the 6 km through the majestic rainforest. Most of the way to the waterfall is beneath trees in the shadow and passing through several paddocks where you\u2019ll be accompanied by some cows, butterflies, and nature\u2019s sound. Each time you get closer the sound of the water falling gets more and more intense, this is a great signal that you are about to arrive. <\/p>\n

The majestic waterfall will be right in front of your eyes after walking for several minutes. The entire set of waterfalls measures a total of 80mts wide and the first fall you\u2019ll see is one of 20mts tall with staggered falls. The temptation to get into the crystal clear water is a lot and inevitable to refuse! You\u2019ll be there feeling the water spray from the falls and the refreshing climate. If you are lucky you\u2019ll be able to experience several rainbows that form from the water, humidity in the rocks, and the sunshine. Take a break, eat your snack or prepare the picnic in the rocks, swim in the fresh water, enjoy the view\u2026 You can also take a quick walk to the biggest waterfall, almost 45 meters high with a free fall in a much smaller pool. It is beautiful to admire the waterfall and swim underneath the waterfall. There are also smaller pools with rock formations that simulate seats in the water and slides to relax and enjoy this experience. <\/p>\n

The Nauyaca waterfall is one of the most famous in Costa Rica, this is by its natural beauty and the height of the falls. It is said that the water from the waterfalls helps the human body by passing on positive energy, and this one is not the exception. Once you are here, you\u2019ll feel like in a wonderland paradise. If you are near Dominical, this is a great activity for families and large groups. <\/p>\n

Give it a chance, visit this wonderful waterfall!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
