2.Excursion in Damajagua’s 7 Waterfalls

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 177 reviews · from $60

Hike through rainforest to seven Damajagua waterfalls, then descend by swimming, sliding, and jumping under guide supervision. Pickup is available from select hotels and cruise ports. Guides such as Santos, Luis, Alfredo, Felix, and Giovanni are praised for safety and humor. Expect a strenuous uphill walk, slippery rocks, crowds, and optional photos.

“The hike to get there was a lot of stairs and steep incline. It was rough but I kept telling myself it would be worth it and it was! The air was so humid that it was hard to get a good breath. But once we got to the water, it was exhilarating! Beware that the rocks are slippery and ground is uneven. My daughter and I went on this excursion together and I'm glad we did! Our driver to the falls and back to the port was so nice! He stopped at a roadside market to buy us a few mangos. He washed them, and peeled them for us…”
