After arriving to Ceiba, your initial hike will start off as pure adventure. You will cross a river (sometimes water can reach to waist height), and an approximate 30-minute journey on a dirt/rock path, and muddy terrain.
This trail is surrounded by bamboo trees, rain-forest flowers, and many other beautiful plants. After the hike you will enjoy mostly from the water activities. First visit a river and collecting pool that forms at the base of a waterfall. Take the time here and cool off on it's refreshing waters.
We will then proceed to do another hike and rock climb in order to visit more natural pools (more strenuous part). Here you will have the opportunity to cliff jump into the pools, swing from a rope or go down the natural water slides (these are optional, but once you climb the rock to jump you must complete the activity). We will then return hiking thru the same path we arrived.
After the tour ends we will stop at a local restaurant for a late lunch (food cost not included), before returning to San Juan or your initial meeting point. This stop tends to take 1 to 1.5 hours.
