Our last waterfall visit to this area around Bajos del Toro in central Costa Rica was part of a package deal that included yesterday’s Cataratas Las Gemelas – Pozo Azul – Catarata la Celestial – Blue Falls walk. It involves a short walk through the lush rainforest to one of Costa Rica’s largest waterfalls. The walk to the plunge pool involves a very worthwhile 80m descent where there are great views of the waterfall towering overhead, its aqua plunge pool and the deep canyon falling away below along the Rio del Toro.

We were keen to do both at the discounted price and organised to do that package if we returned tomorrow.

Our first waterfall was on private land as is the case with many of Costa Rica’s natural heritage wonders. A fenced and gated entrance with a small well-worn sign marked the entrance. Yesterday when we initially hoped to see them we were greeted by the owner’s dogs and then informed that we had arrived too late to start. We did, however, organise an earlier than normal 7:30am start the next morning.
