Take a steep but reasonably speedy 20-minute hike up the river, observing small water features, until you reach the majestic Montezuma Falls, a beautiful 24 m (78 ft) high cascade of water. Cool off in the large pool at the base of the falls, which is great for swimming, but too shallow for rock jumping. If you’re feeling a little more adventurous, scramble up the rough path on the left side of the falls to a deeper pool and a second waterfall, where you can jump safely. Wear sturdy boots, as you’ll have to navigate across slippery rocks throughout the hike.

Take a fun, sometimes precarious hike, up to the waterfall, and dive into the pool below. Bring water, a snack, and wear good shoes (you will thank me for the shoe recommendation). more »

Crazy Carlos was the best person to take us on the tour. We just ran into him at the entrance and he took my friend and I for quite the adventure through the waterfalls. Even showing us where to eat..... more »

How could you not give a waterfall a 5 star rating? It's beautiful. Plus its free to go swim and enjoy. The hike is also lovely, remember - look up - tons of wildlife in the trees right above you.

Lovely waterfall... a bit of rough terrain to get to it. We were able to take our 4 year old there. It was awesome. Just do it. Dont think twice for adventure.
