Pacific Journeys

Come and join us at Diamante Falls! After an invigorating hike up the mountain, and a dip in one of the natural pools, you will enjoy lunch in an amazing open air cave nestled between twin waterfalls perched high above the Diamante. We offer several tours to the top of the mountain, including hiking, both beginner and advanced rappelling, canyoning, cliff jumping and swimming in magnificent natural pools beneath the falls. We offer one day and overnight tours with accommodations in the cave. We also offer tours to Baru falls. This tour is set atop beautiful waterfalls ranging from 60 to 120ft. Once at the falls, you are first trained on how to properly and safely rappel on a small training hill. After completion of this training, you begin your exciting 120 ft rappel down the face side of Baru Falls. Once you complete the rappel, there is a short hike to a spectacular viewpoint at the bottom of both waterfalls where there is a large natural 20ft deep swimming hole. You then have the option to engage in a variety of activities listed below. The objective of this adventure tour is actually dual purpose. Firstly, to face the challenge of walking over the face of a cliff. And secondly, we have found that many participants also experience a deeper faith through this symbolic step. For many, this can lead to a joyful breakthrough in growth.

My Costa Rican friend and I came for a trail ride from the lovely, peaceful farm owned by Krysia and Victor. The horses were beautiful, healthy and so clearly loved. I was very happy to be riding Habibi, she was a joy to ride and had great energy. My friend rode Santos who was a lovely, sweet boy. Krysia and Victor were great hosts, taking care to ensure we were safe and comfortable. Victor also took photographs on the ride and shared them with us which was great. Since I am lucky enough to come back to Costa Rica regularly I will be definitely be planning another visit to Finca Caballo Loco as soon as I can.
