The Waterfalls of La Florida Costa Rica

San Luis is my favorite horseback destination
Here is a new one that we just discovered this year. It is only a 30 minute walk from our jungalow. We don't know its name, but it has some nice shallow wading pools.
Diamante is the second highest waterfall in Central America and the highest in Costa Rica.
The Grandaddy of them all is Niyaca. Incredibly beautiful and with a nice deep swimming hole beneath both levels of the cascades. There used to be a somewhat "safe" set of cliffs to jump off of but they were taken away by floodwaters during the rainy season 2 years ago. The river must have been running really hard because there is no sign that they were ever there.

You guys are killing me with the beautiful waterfall pics! And, we're definitely going to have to try the pizza recipe from your previous post. BTW, the Jungle Fusion guac recipe is a big hit with all our Colo. friends...
