WATER & RAINFOREST

Follow the sound
of falling water.

Few places feel as alive as a rainforest waterfall. The walk in is half the pleasure, through birdsong, tall trees and the cool air that builds as you near the water. At the falls, the group can pause, swim, photograph and simply enjoy being outside together.

Fed by mountain rain
Rain on the surrounding mountains feeds the streams and falls around the estate.
Natural swimming pools
ASSUMPTION: confirm which falls have safe swimming and how far they are from the estate.
Wildlife along the trail
Look for birds, butterflies and tropical plants as you walk.

Our guides know the trails and the water. They set a comfortable pace, check conditions and share the story of the land along the way.


Waterfall outings can be added to any group program. Ask us when you request a proposal.
