The experience
The hike starts at Finca los Solís, a working tropical farm five minutes from Jacó beach where you'll see cocoa trees, bananas and horses as you begin. The trail covers approximately 4.5 miles round trip through the jungle, moving between 10 waterfalls and 8 natural pools at your own pace. You choose how long to spend at each one, whether that means swimming, jumping or just wading in the water.
About 15 minutes into the walk, your guide stops to talk through the medicinal plants the Pueblo Nuevo las Monas communities have used for generations, along with the broader flora and fauna around you. The whole experience runs 2.5 to 3 hours depending on how much time you spend in the water. A professional photographer works strategic points along the route, capturing photos and videos you'll have afterward.
You get waterproof bags to keep your phone and valuables dry, plus fruits and water during the hike. At the end, you'll have access to toilets and showers at the farm, and a 10% discount card for restaurants in the Jacó beach area. Parking is available for your car. Wear tennis shoes (they're mandatory), and bring your phone, water and cash for tips or souvenirs.
Is this one for you?This is a shared group hike with a live guide, so you're moving at a pace set by the group rather than entirely on your own schedule, but that pace includes built-in stops at each waterfall and pool, so you still control how long you linger in the water. Choose this if you want the structure and local knowledge of a guide without the cost of a private tour, and if you're comfortable hiking 4.5 miles over uneven jungle terrain.
