Epically beautiful waterfall swim hole. A short and pretty easy walk (sometimes slippery) down to this gorgeous gem. Lots of shade and some small rock areas to sit. Bring a picnic and go midweek for more serenity.

This waterfall is easy to get to, just off a gravel road about 15 minutes south of the property. Seldom busy is free. Can have strong currents so is safest during the dry Season, November through end of April.

Cascada El Pavon is a beautiful waterfall just outside of Ojochal. From the highway turnoff, it is approximately 2kms to the falls. Like most secondary roads in CR it is bumpy but drivable. Parking is on the side of the road. There is no entrance fee. The hike down to the falls is short and easy. The area is shaded and cool, the water warm and the natural pool inviting. There is a restaurant and tilapia fish farm across the road.
