​​The Gozalandia Waterfalls "Cascadas Gozalandia" are situated in a lush, tropical rainforest setting, and it's one of the most popular destinations for both locals and tourists seeking a refreshing escape from the heat.

​The main waterfall is impressive in size and is surrounded by lush vegetation, making it a picturesque spot for swimming and relaxation. We'll spend most of our time here and then walk over to the second waterfall where the scenery will leave you breathless. 

After the falls we will head over to the cultural market where you can enjoy a taste of our local coffee grown in San Sebastian or fresh coconut water. You'll also have leasure time at the market to purchase souvenirs or other goodies.

Additional Info: 

  • We'll visit two waterfalls during this trip. Both require walking up and down a paved walkway & lots of steps; about a 10–15-minute moderate hike to each one.

  • The steps are pretty steep and not recommended for people that experience Vertigo.

  • Due to rain, the terrain and concrete steps can be uneven and slippery at times.

  • Please wear sneakers, water shoes, or sandals that have a grip to avoid a fall.

  • Extreme caution is recommended while exploring these waterfalls.

  • On this tour, we will not be jumping or diving off the rocks as there may be large rocks underneath the surface, and it is also extremely slippery and dangerous.
