Bijagua Waterfall & Rainforest Walk (Private Tour)

Immerse yourself in one of Costa Rica’s most biodiverse regions. Located near the Carara National Park area in the Central Pacific, this exclusive hiking tour takes you deep into a private tropical rainforest to witness the spectacular Bijagual Waterfall—one of the highest waterfalls in Costa Rica, towering at an impressive 328 meters (over 1,000 feet).

Departing directly from your hotel in Jacó or its surroundings, you will enjoy a quick, scenic drive toward the lush coastal mountains. Led by a certified expert local guide, you will hike through dense jungle trails, wade across pristine mountain rivers, spot incredible wildlife like Scarlet Macaws, and swim in crystal-clear natural pools at the base of the falls. After this exhilarating hike, the adventure continues with an exceptional culinary experience at a premium countryside restaurant overlooking the region, where you will enjoy a high-quality artisanal lunch paired with breathtaking panoramic views of the famous Tárcoles River area.
