2-Hour ATV Tour at Vista Los Suenos Adventure Park – Jaco
Overview
Vista Los Suenos has a fun ATV tour that will take you to a scenic ocean viewpoint and along a lush, jungle trail to swim in waterfalls.
Tour Description
The Vista Los Suenos facility is just outside Jaco in the rainforest-covered mountains near Herradura.
The ATV tour begins with meeting your bilingual guide who will give you all the equipment you need and get you acquainted with your vehicle. Before starting the tour, you’ll do a short practice course on the property.
Once comfortable, you’ll head on the dirt roads within the large property, riding up the mountain. At the top, you’ll get to enjoy some beautiful ocean views. There are a couple of spots to take photos here, including a cool wooden sculpture you can pose in.
After the lookout, you’ll drive down the mountain and go on some back roads and jungle trails to a river and waterfall. Along the way, you’ll pass through the tranquil countryside and see farm fields. The off-road trails go through gorgeous, thick jungle. If it’s rainy, you’ll splash through some puddles and small rivers along the way. Rainy season in Jaco is from approximately May through end of November.
Once at the river, you’ll park your ATV and head on foot for the 5-10 minute walk to the waterfalls. The tour company has built elevated walkways, which makes access fairly easy.
You can explore the two waterfalls and swimming holes. There’s one small platform about 10 feet (3 meters) high for jumping, and the lower waterfall has a small natural slide.
After spending about 15 minutes at the waterfall, you will head back to Vista Los Suenos where you’ll be given a fresh fruit snack to enjoy.
When we did this tour, we found the guide to be very helpful and safe. The route includes a short stretch on the public road en route to the waterfall.
The ATVs are Yamaha 450cc and 350cc.
Accessibility
The trail to the waterfall is mostly flat but there is one set of stairs to climb to get to the pools (around 15 stairs). This connects to a series of concrete walkways. Once at the waterfalls, you walk down to the natural pools on the rocks. These can be slippery so we recommend water shoes.
