You kick gravel, hear the engine answer, and a ribbon of jungle opens toward the Pacific — palms and broken light pushing at the trail’s edge. The 3-hour Double ATV run out of Jaco drops quickly from a private ocean lookout through riverbeds and dirt tracks, then eases to a short hike that ends at a small, swim-friendly waterfall ten minutes from Los Sueños.
