montezuma falls

离镇上只有一小段路,很值得顺便游览一下,但不要期待太高。这个地方充斥着本地人。水很凉爽,但也就是个瀑布而已。

卡洛斯是我们亲切的导游。我觉得如果没有他的话,我们不可能安全的到达顶端。他住在卡布亚,但是他的爷爷在铁路的地基那里经营一个停车场,所以如果你问这位老人的话,他会找来卡洛斯给你当导游。我们一直步行到了山顶,还在那里游了泳。我还会万分激动的再去一次的。我不能想象有人去蒙特苏马但是不去瀑布。

那时候我和四岁的女儿来过这里。我们差点迷路,幸亏有热情的卡洛斯导游,帮我们度过难关,差不多一路上都还背着女儿。女儿很喜欢!

对于在尼科亚半岛旅游的人来说,徒步到蒙特苏马瀑布是件必须的事情。我觉得旅途中最愉快的事情。你沿着一条小溪徒步到一个池塘,该池塘位于瀑布的底端,很适合游泳、放松,或者是从岩石上跳到水里(注意安全)。水很舒服,瀑布很美。如果你想到另外一个高度的话,那就步行到第二个瀑布的顶端,你会发现另一个美丽的绿洲,有一根飘荡的绳索,你可以用它潜到瀑布里去(太有趣了!)。你不会后悔这次旅行的。

去蒙特祖玛区一定要来这里!首先,我要警告那些打算全程都带孩子徒步旅行的人。我反对这一想法,因为坡很陡,道路很糟,遍布岩石。我们12岁的孩子还可以坚持,但是5岁的小家伙如果没有卡洛斯的帮助根本完不成这次行程(下面就会看到)。我们在度假村的时候有人说我们5岁的女儿能够完成这次徒步旅行,但是他们那时候肯定谈论的是别的旅程,别的瀑布!我们到达的时候,卡洛斯向我们走来,他是当地的一位导游,那时候他正在瀑布周边,很显然在等那些刚来到这里不知道该往哪儿走,看点什么的游客。好吧,于是我们就雇他带我们游览全程。通常我不大喜欢这样做,但这次我很高兴卡洛斯能随同我们。整个行程他都在帮助我们,从瀑布到游泳池,然走再走到另一面(显然我们走的是比较难走的路线)。最重要的是,大部分的路途他都背着我们5岁的女儿,比较难走的路上也帮助她。我们花了半天的时间在路上,瀑布边,还在池子里面游泳了,这些这位新朋友都在关注着我们。不管怎样,这个地方真的很不错,很美。这次远足有些艰辛,但瀑布和天然游泳池都很美。我们12岁的孩子很喜欢从一些岩石上跳到池子中去,我们都很享受大自然中飞溅的水花。很开心!

After reading some of the reviews, my husband and I, both in our late fifties, opted for hiking to the falls from the top of the trails. We paid $4.00 per person at the Canopy Tours where there's a very nice café with great smoothies. We walked over a hanging bridge and down a man-made path to visit the first 2 falls. You do need decent water shoes for walking on the rocks once you get to the waterfalls. Spent a little time at the first waterfall watching some young people scaling the rocks and jumping to the next waterfall. We opted to head back to the trail to reach that second and larger waterfall. It was great fun swimming in the deep pool to go under the waterfall. The water was clear and refreshing. We spent a lot of time just hanging out there. It was good to be cooled off by the swim before the upward hike back to where we started. Not the largest waterfall I've seen, but it still made for a wonderful experience.

We always hike up to the waterfall when in Montezuma. Pack a lunch and a few cold beers for your trip. Where solid shoes that can get wet, you sill have to hike in the stream part way.

The great thing about these falls aren't the falls themselves, the falls are ok but nothing extraordinary. It is the scenery on the way to get to them. I saw a golden silk spun spider, colorful frogs and all kinds of different critters on the way up to them. The plant life and is really awesome and its a great place to rest and enjoy some quiet time. Don't expect a big water display and you won't be disappointed. But if you take the time to enjoy everything around you it is really a great place to visit.

This was a fun experience for everyone, you can jump off the waterfalls but be careful my dad cracked his head open!

The falls are great, as long as you don't have expectations for something amazing. I had a good time climbing over rocks and hanging from ropes, and the falls themselves were beautiful. However, if you think it's going to be magnanimous and incredible, you may be disappointed. While I enjoyed it, I heard others around me who were much less excited. When you climb up the stairs to the higher falls, expect to pay a small fee to a man behind a gate. It's about 1,000 colones ($2). There are a lot of these random "fees" that you'll run into in Costa Rica - better to know that you run into a "fee" everywhere you go than to be taken by surprise, I suppose! Anyhow, the falls are nice, but if you're looking for something huge and fabulous, this may not be the adventure for you.

The falls are definitely worth a view. Spend some time relaxing by the lower pool, or make the daunting climb to the upper pool, and reward yourself with the opportunity to overcome your fear, and take the 10 metre jump. Not for the faint of heart or unsteady of step.

We hiked up the river to the lower falls. Our Lonely Planet guide said follow the trail. Well the trail peters out pretty quick and you end up crossing the river & walking along the rocks on the banks of the river. Eventually you can get up to a trail that's a little easier to walk along. I carry a lot of camera gear (backpack, tripod, and 500mm lens) which means I'm looking for an easier trail. Points of this trail depend on you grasping a rope to lower yourself or to prevent yourself from sliding into the water. This was not the place for me with my camera gear. After reaching the first waterfall, somebody pointed us to the trail towards the upper falls. This was up a very steep hillside and neither my wife nor I were interested in attempting to climb this trail. There were people swimming at the bottom of the falls and we were told that there was more swimming up top. We chose not to swim there as we were concerned about trying to use the trail with wet shoes. Maybe it's us, but it was a little harder trail than we expected.

This hike was pretty difficult, but worth it. Be sure to wear tennis shoes and bring your bathing suit!Getting to the first waterfall is pretty simple. Some spots are a bit more difficult and require hanging onto a rope to shimmy across the rocks. Once at the waterfall, strip down and take a swim! Keep an eye on your stuff- there are a lot of people here. This first waterfall is near 100ft tall.If you choose to continue the hike, be aware it is very difficult, can be slippery and goes on the edge of cliffs without railings. There are areas that require climbing with a rope and repelling. Don't let this deter you though... It's very nice at the top.At the top, you will reach the top of a 50ft waterfall and a 25ft waterfall above it. You can swim in the pool of the 25ft waterfall and there is a rope swing to enjoy. Some courageous people will jump off the 50ft waterfall. This will take you to the pool above the 100ft waterfall. They are all connected.Be careful and enjoy!

This is a free day where you hike to these marvelous falls. There were people jumping from the cliffs. The water is wonderful in the heat.

Great place to swim and cool off. It's a calm and relaxed alternative to the strong waves and hot sun on the beach!
