More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You arrive on a narrow dirt road and the valley opens: coffee rows lean into the slope, a tin-roofed farmhouse perches above a drop, and somewhere below a ribbon of water throws mist into sunlight. The farm at La Cascada Arcoiris is both working ranch and viewpoint — the scene is agricultural, sensory, alive with the scent of roasting beans and the hush of cloud-scrub forest.
