El Tigre Waterfalls

El Tigre Waterfalls have 60 hectares of forest, with 2 different trails and 4 beautiful waterfalls between 15 and 30 meters high. The walk is about 3 hours + 35 minutes of horse back riding and the level of difficulty is intermediate-advanced. Technical difficulty in the trails. River crossing and rock trails. The forest remains 90% virgin so it is common to observe animals such as monkeys, snakes, peccaries, a variety of insects, birds and others.

We start in the morning picking you up from your hotel in Monteverde at 7:00am. 25 minutes later we arrive to EL Tigre. El Tigre Waterfalls has a beautiful viewpoint that let you see 4 volcanoes: Volcán Arenal, Volcán Rincón de la vieja, Volcán Tenorio y Volcán Miravalles.
