Las Cascadas in Montezuma, Costa Rica

Las Cascadas (The Waterfalls) is one of the most unique places I have ever visited. Tucked deep fairly deep within the forests of Costa Rica, these waterfalls require a fairly grueling (and somewhat dangerous) hike to reach. But its worth every bit of the effort. Upon arrival, you find likeminded locals and adventurers looking to soak up rays, relax in and around the waterfalls and generally effuse the "Pura Vida" lifestyle.

There are three sets of waterfalls that cascade downwards into this final waterfall on the left.. The highest of the three (and most difficult to reach) can be leapt from into a lower pool that sits right above the waterfall to the left. Its quite a jump and certainly not for anyone afraid of heights.

Montezuma was an amazing place - fairly untouched. I won't say anymore since I want to keep it that way. Any further research is on you!
