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.

Hiking

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.

Hiking

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.
