Nauyaca Waterfalls

Fodor's Review:

The Nauyaca Waterfalls (Cataratas de Nauyaca), a massive double cascade tumbling down 45 meters (150 feet) and 20 meters (65 feet), are one of the most spectacular sights in Costa Rica. The waterfalls—also known as Barú River Falls—are on private property, so the only way to reach them is to take a hiking or horseback tour.
