Details
A great way to visit the San Luis waterfall is on horse. This ride takes a total of 5.5 hours down from the high mountains of Monteverde to the valley of San Luis. Not all of the time is spent on a horse as you will need to hike along the river to reach the waterfall. The trip commences with a 2-hour ride down into the valley of San Luis adjacent to Monteverde. The ride down the mountain has some breathtaking views. At a trailhead in San Luis you will part temporarily with your horse and hike 20 minutes along the river to reach the spectacular cascade. There you can take some time to relax and enjoy the scenery while having a fruit snack. You can also take a swim if you are brave enough. This water is Very cold water! To returning you hike back out and ride another 2 hours back up the mountain.
This is quite a hike to do on foot and much more fun on horse than taking a taxi. San Luis is a small community where much of the Monteverde?s coffee is grown. Being lower in elevation than Monteverde it offers an opportunity to see different flora and fauna.
