    La Escalera Waterfall, located near the town of Jardín, is a series of terraced waterfalls cascading through lush tropical vegetation. Its verdant surroundings and the constant sound of the water create an ideal setting for relaxation and nature observation. It's a perfect destination for hiking and photography enthusiasts, with trails leading to its various pools and natural viewpoints.

      On the long walk (15km), be careful at km 8.63! Several trees have fallen due to a landslide, completely obliterating the path. This means you'll have to scramble and find your way through the woods. Date: July 27, 2025.

        When doing the long hike: at the dragon waterfall, don’t cross over to the other side thinking that the path will continue there - it doesn‘t and if you try to climb up there it will soon become dangerous.

          The long tour (5h here in the app) will pass some other beautiful waterfalls (dragon being my favourite) but it is definately not an easy walk! Do not go in rainy weather. Take provisions with you and think more like 6.5h+ for the whole tour.

            The long hike is highly recommended but only if you have experience and are fit. Crossing numerous streams, climbing up roots on steep hills, repelling down rocks with cords. This hike easily takes 5-6hrs.

            The beginning is steep climbing on a dirt road and once at the top, the real adventure begins. (Bring some money because you have to pass private property)

            If it has rained a lot, it will be muddy and slippery (understatement). Definitely not a walk in the park but adventurous for sure.
