Total Serenity: There are no waves here. The water is glass-flat, making it the perfect place to learn how to paddleboard without the stress of the ocean. The Experience: It feels like walking on water through a green jungle tunnel.

Use your Tourist membership to uncover Costa Rica’s best kept secret. Eco Chontales isn’t just a waterfall; it’s a natural spa tucked away high up in the mountains. Here’s why guests say it’s ‘the highlight of their visit’: The Scale: Stand beneath an enormous 150 ft waterfall that looks like something out of Jurassic Park. The Adventure: Take a dip in crystal clear swimming holes, zip down a natural waterslide, or take on one of our thrilling cliff dives—if you dare. The Blue Mud Experience: Enjoy top quality mud rich with minerals taken directly from Costa Rican volcanoes. Lather up using this all-natural scrub (it works wonders for your skin while creating hilariously funny pictures) then rinse off underneath the pure water flow of the falls themselves. And don’t forget about food - we include a riverside al fresco feast featuring local cuisine. Get away from the tourist trail and indulge in a rainforest pampering session – but not at regular prices!
