Catarata Bijagual: Spring o living water

Bijagual Waterfall, also known as Living Water Spring Waterfall, is one of the most impressive and least explored waterfalls in Costa Rica. It is located in the Central Pacific region, specifically in the canton of Turrubares, province of San José, in the mountains near Carara National Park, a short distance from destinations like Jacó and Orotina.

A Living Water Spring is more than a natural source—it is a portal to the essential. It’s where the earth breathes, water sings, and the soul is cleansed. Here, every drop flows with purpose, inviting you to reconnect with yourself and the ancestral wisdom of nature.

What is a Living Water Spring?

A spring is a natural source where water spontaneously and continuously flows from the earth. It’s a pure, steady, and often uninterrupted stream that feeds rivers, creeks, or pools. The term “living water” emphasizes that it is not stagnant or artificial water—it flows with strength, movement, and natural vitality.

🌱 Symbolic meaning

  1. Vitality in motion Living water represents pure energy in constant renewal. It symbolizes natural strength, continuous flow, and connection to life.
  2. Rebirth and purification Historically and in many traditions, living water is associated with inner cleansing, spiritual and emotional renewal. To immerse in or be near a spring is a symbol of new beginnings, healing, and balance.
  3. Earth’s wisdom Springing from deep within the earth, the spring represents an ancestral voice of the planet—a pure message from nature for those willing to stop and listen.
