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.

This self-guided tour begins along a winding trail that meanders through lush forests, tranquil streams, and scenic viewpoints, offering sweeping vistas of the Gulf of Nicoya, the surrounding mountains, and the park’s vibrant 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.

Route to Bijagual Waterfall & Natural Pool

This self-guided tour begins with a scenic and leisurely 20-minute walk through lush, vibrant landscapes, leading you to an awe-inspiring natural marvel: the majestic Bijagual Waterfall.
