― Overview

Located in the mountains of Bijagual de Turrubares, just a few kilometers from Carara National Park and the beaches of Jacó and Herradura, Bijagual Waterfall stands as one of the tallest in Costa Rica, with an approximate free fall of 200 meters. This majestic cascade is nestled within lush tropical rainforest, rich in biodiversity and breathtaking landscapes.

Its towering height and dramatic beauty—framed by rocky cliffs and pristine vegetation—make it one of the most awe-inspiring natural settings in the country.

The trail leading to the waterfall winds through forests, streams, and scenic overlooks, offering panoramic views of the Gulf of Nicoya, the surrounding mountains, and the park’s biological corridor.

An authentic, uncrowded experience: Unlike more heavily visited tourist destinations, Bijagual maintains its rural charm and tranquil atmosphere, ideal for those seeking a genuine connection with nature.

Discover here why it’s also known as a Living Water Spring.

Route to Bijagual Waterfall & Natural Pool

Enjoy an unforgettable horseback ride on our gentle, well-trained horses as they carry you to the beginning of the main trail. From there, a pleasant 20-minute walk will lead you to this stunning natural monument: the majestic Bijagual Waterfall.

The Natural Pool

Due to the rugged terrain surrounding the waterfall, swimming directly at its base is not possible. However, just 10 minutes back along the way, a hidden gem awaits you: a natural pool nestled among crystal-clear waterholes—perfect for diving in, unwinding, and enjoying a refreshing swim in the heart of nature.
