Roaring Nuayaca Falls in Dominical

Sylvia, Eric and their kids shlepped all the way from Washington state to visit the Blatts, Costa Rica and Nauyaca Falls - which rushed and poured its welcome.

This time of year, however, there was actually so much water coming over the falls due to the rainy season that swimming became a battle against the choppy, rough water funneling away from the falls.  Nonetheless, it is always spectacular!

We drove down about 45 minutes South from Manuel Antonio, turning left toward San Isidro de General just before we reached Dominical.  The hike was not as hot as last time, but, boy was it sticky.  We were soaking wet before we even could hear the crashing of the waterfall.

At the 2 kilometer mark, halfway to the waterfall, the owners of the property will sell you tickets and you can refill your water bottles.  You can also rent horses on the main road, if you don't want to hoof it sans hooves.

Where's Waldo (Benji)?

As always, the cool, clean water was refreshing after a sweaty hike.
