Ride a brujita into the San Cipriano Reserve for a full day of jungle walks, four waterfalls, river swimming and a relaxed tube float. This private tour blends local culture, natural history and hands-on adventure.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the rickety 'brujita' as sunlight slices between broadleaf trees and the river hisses nearby — the jungle immediately feels alive. The ride itself announces you: a low, wooden clatter along abandoned rails that locals still use to cross into the Reserva Natural de San Cipriano, an intimate stretch of Pacific foothills where river pools, forest trails and roadside farms share a single rhythm.
