After a refreshing swim at the El Polvorín waterfalls, we head to Chico’s Paradise, a jungle-side restaurant that became famous in the 1960s as a favorite spot of Elizabeth Taylor and many Hollywood stars.

Here, you'll enjoy delicious local food (not included) while overlooking the stunning waterfalls of the area. On some days, you might even catch a thrilling cliff jumping show, which adds a fun and lively atmosphere to the experience.

For those seeking more adventure, there’s an option to try the canopy zipline (not included in the tour). Wildlife lovers will also enjoy spotting colorful macaws flying overhead, and if we're lucky, we might even see playful otters in the river.

On the way back, we’ll stop at the beautiful Los Arcos National Park, a perfect spot to snap some amazing photos and take in the breathtaking coastal views before heading home.
