Catarata Bijagual

About

Despite being 600 feet tall, the impressive Catarata Bijagual is remains relatively unknown, being hidden away in the beautiful Manantial Agua Viva nature reserve. A winding trail works its way to the waterfall, offering teasing glimpses of the white cascade along the way. On the hike, you’re bound to see some of the park’s residents, which include glass butterflies, toucans, poison dart frogs, and snakes. Once you reach the falls, you’ll probably want to cool off, so be sure to refresh yourself in the mountain waters before setting back out. The hike takes about an hour each way, and in the tropical heat, you’ll want to bring a lot of water with you. Appropriate footwear is also required.
