Awesome 10 waterfall hike near Jaco - The 10 waterfall hike was awesome. Our guide, Pablo Gomez, was very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna, and showed us out all kinds of animals, plants, and fungi that we would have never noticed. The waterfalls themselves are amazing, Pablo was very patient with us, and I felt that our safety was his highest priority. We were able to swim in all of the waterfall pools, which were unbelievably refreshing.I am already planning on using his guiding services to take additional family on this wonderful hike

Beautiful waterfall hike - Pablo was our guide. He was absolutely fantastic! It was a private tour and he gave us lots of information about the area, plants, and animals that we encountered. He even acted as a photographer for us! The waterfalls were nothing short of beautiful and each one was more amazing than the last. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone and if you get the chance, ask for Pablo!

Absolutely a Must Do & See! - Make sure you have very good waterproof sneakers because you will cross streams & rivers with lots of rocks and you need to grip the rocks when you are climbing. Bring a waterproof bag for any valuables because there are times when you will get wet in order to cross. Request Pablo as your guide because he is kind & he took time to ensure our safety. This was the absolute best excursion in Costa Rica (We also did zip lining, sailboat, and Manuel Antonio park). We would 100% recommend!! The views were incredible!!

Pablo made it worth it - Pablo was really truly fantastic. So kind, friendly and fun. The joke was absolutely worth it. The water falls were amazing and swimming and jumping off the rocks was awesome. Do not wear flip flops. It’s a long trek mostly on the way back. Overall it was 100% worth it and got some great pictures!

Pura Vida - This entire experience exceeded our expectations. Pablo and his team were so helpful and knowledgeable and we loved talking with him about the area! This hike overall is moderate with some difficult moments but most people will be fine. The lunch after the hike was also beyond our expectation. The people were so kind and the food was delicious! This hike was one of our overall favorite things we did in Costa Rica!

Pablo was amazing and... - Pablo was amazing and treated our family to wonderful trip through Las Monas. He was knowledgeable about the local flora and fuana. The water was so refreshing and the casada lunch was the best we had in our trip. I highly recommend the trip. The hike is not too hard. Pablo was patient with our 10 and 13 year old, making sure they were safe throughout the journey. This was the perfect adventure!
