Great place, nice people.
An incredible and beautiful place! Four stunning waterfalls and a short hike. Don Carlos’ service was excellent, very kind and attentive. His wife was also lovely, and both breakfast and lunch were delicious.

An excellent place to relax and take a swim. It’s quite close to the main road. The area is safe and peaceful. Beginners level walk. The site is well-maintained, surrounded by lush flora, and truly worth visiting.

This place is a paradise!
The location has 4 very nice waterfalls, areas to enjoy them safely and the best time to cut them is in winter because they are with a lot of water! It’s absolutely worth it for the experience inside!

Stunning Waterfalls
Hike through mesmerizing trails and witness the raw beauty of cascading waters.
Adventure & Relaxation
Swim, explore, and connect with the energy of water in an unforgettable natural setting.
The science of water includes conservation and energy, ecosystems and climate. One of the most startling properties of water is its liquid crystalline structure. Water forms clusters of vibrating molecules, with properties that are very different from bulk water. Get a new perspective.
Costa Rica is powered by the forces of nature. Flowing water creates hydroelectricity and flowing lava yields geothermal power. These blessings have made this place the greenest nation on Earth. Connect with water in nature.
Immerse yourself in a natural paradise, with a series of waterfalls that drives the cycle of life. Touch it and feel it. Dive and swim, walk and climb, be inspired and be moved. Give yourself an incredible experience
We are water. It is often said that humans are about 70% water, but this measured by weight. Consider this: of all the molecules in your body, 99% are H2O.
Join us on a magnificent journey to discover the molecules of life.
Location
This secluded park is located 60km south of San Jose, 20km from the Pacific coast, between the surfing and fishing in Jaco and idyllic Manuel Antonio national park. We are far from the crowds, in the farming community of La Gloria.
