Campesinos Waterfalls and Hanging Bridges from Manuel Antonio

My girlfriend and I spent a morning and afternoon at Los Campesinos, and it was a day we’ll never forget. Seriously — this was one of the most fun outings the two of us ever shared together. Our adventure began when tour guide Jose picked us up in his 4 x 4. The three of us then took a scenic drive through gravel roads brimming with tall palm trees, leading up to the lush ecological reserve of Los Campesinos. Once arriving, we embarked on the hike, seeing dozens of animals from rare birds to iguanas on our walk through the hanging bridges, trees and woods. Along the way, we caught glimpses of majestic waterfalls. Stopping for a refreshing swim in Los Campesinos’ small lagoon, the two of us swam for about 30 minutes, encountering fellow travelers who were extremely kind and positive. Following the crisp dip, we completed our hike by dining at a small house on a hill. This is where a local woman prepared - I kid you not - the most delicious arroz con pollo one could feast on (a meal best washed down with the complimentary Brazilian guava juice provided). It was a meal that knocked our socks off and sent us to sleep. Swear — my girlfriend and I napped the whole way home to Quepos (thanks to Jose and the touring company for providing us with not just pick-up but drop-off). We’ll probably be talking about this meal, and day, for years to come. If you ever visit Manuel Antonio, coming to Los Campesinos is a must. I promise you— you’ll never regret it.

Absolutely amazing and gorgeous! We went later on a Saturday and pretty much had the place to ourselves. They close for entry at 2:30pm, but you can stay as long as you like. The 4WD road was only 4WD for the last 20 minutes before you get there, though it is about 50 mins. on a bumpy dirt road, maybe that's why there were so few people there. Once you're there, though, there are 2 crystal pools to swim in under gorgeous waterfalls, and the hanging bridges are super fun.

We wanted to see something other than what you see in in the mainstream tourist guides. This tour delivered. The guides were very knowledgable about the local bird population which meant we left with some impressive photos via the scope that could focus some distance away. The scenery was mesmerising. the swimming in the waterfall pool was unforgettable, the opportunity to walk on the swing bridges was thrilluig and the lunch was very filling! All in all a great day out. We were well looked after. I don't often post reviews but felt this tour merited a post.
