Very well done
★★★★★
A very well-presented and thought-out experience. We walked down and got the truck back. Trails were easy to follow and well maintained although it still felt wild. 9 and 11-year-old boys found it easy to do. The waterfalls were impressive.
- Dan
Beautiful place!
★★★★★
Took a swim in the big pool, so refreshing! Then sat in the sun soaking up nature. I also enjoyed hiking all the groomed trails. Saw many butterflies and small reptiles! And also some Howler monkeys. It was a great day! The staff are very kind and friendly!
- Brenda
A gem as nature made it, not commercialized
★★★★★
We took the 4-mile hike from self-parking. By the time we arrived, we were all a bit winded and tired…until we saw it. Nauyaca is one damn impressive sight. Get in both pools and swim across the lower. It's so worth it. Highly recommend!
- American adventurers
Long hike but worth it once you see the beauty of the falls..
★★★★★
Absolutely beautiful. We walked down and took the trolley back. It is a long hike down and back up but the falls are stunning. We went early to beat the heat and crowds. It was great to swim in the falls after the long trek down. It is a challenging walk down and up but worth it. The staff was great in the office as well as the trolley driver.
