El Tigre Waterfalls Half-Day Tour

🥾 Experience a Wonderful Trekking Adventure

Get ready for an unforgettable journey into the heart of nature! El Tigre Waterfalls Half-Day Tour is a self-guided hike in El Tigre’s lush forest. Explore four stunning waterfalls, cross ten picturesque bridges, dive into refreshing swimming pools, take a horseback ride at the most strenuous part of the trip, and have a delicious, fresh-made lunch to recharge.

Disclaimer: You must be in relatively good shape to complete the course. You should be able to hike on uneven, sometimes challenging terrain for up to three hours to go on this adventure. The entire crossing is 8 kilometers (5 miles) on a nature trail where the first 5 km (3 miles) are downhill, and the last part of the crossing is on horses to regain the vertical elevation you will lose during the downhill.

🌟 Reasons to Book This Adventure:

🏞️ Unmatched Natural Beauty:

Discover the pristine beauty of the jungle as you explore waterfalls surrounded by lush greenery. Nestled in one of Monteverde’s most pristine locations, El Tigre Waterfalls offers unmatched scenery that will come as a reward in the form of lasting memories. One of the benefits of the half-day tour is that the most challenging part of the trip is done on horses, so you can relax and take in the beautiful views surrounding El Tigre.

🚶 Freedom to Explore:

The first part of the trip, the downhill trekking, doesn’t require a tour guide. You can discover the natural wonders of El Tigre Waterfalls at your own pace and enjoy the serenity of the forest until 4 PM when the park shuts down. This gives you the flexibility to experience everything the park offers. Then, the second part of the trip is on horses with a tour guide leading the way back to the reception area and then to the restaurant.

🍴 Picnic Paradise:

Feel free to bring your favorite snacks and savor them amidst the enchanting wilderness. If you commit to leaving no trash on the trail, you can get your favorite snacks along the hike at El Tigre Waterfalls. And if you forget to bring them, you can purchase them at the reception before you start the adventure.

🍔 Delicious Dining:

Are you craving more than snacks? Great because the half-day tour includes a delicious, fresh-made Costa Rican packed lunch with locally inspired dishes to satisfy your hunger and recharge some of the energy spent during your adventure.

🗺️ Comprehensive Guidance:

We provide a detailed map and all the essential instructions at the reception, ensuring you’re fully prepared for your hike. And for that reason, the first part of the trip, the downhill trek, doesn’t include a tour guide. However, you can add it as an extra when booking online. Going with a tour guide enhances the experience as you will learn more about the ecosystem, and you will probably find more wildlife with the help of a local, well-equipped expert by your side. We highly recommend you choose that option to take your experience to the next level.
