The Mountain Waterfall Ride

This ride can go out at any time of day, although I recommend early in the morning or later in the afternoon for better wildlife sighting and cooler temperatures. We begin at the farm about 5 km above Montezuma and ride out on the old Bijagua road to the little pueblo called Florida, passing through rolling farmland and tropical dry forest. There are glimpses of the Pacific Ocean from the hilltops and plenty of butterflies along the way and monkeys overhead in the trees. If you are lucky you may spot pizotes or anteaters or armadillos as well. The variety of trees and plants is endless and there are so many birds you will be amazed. Flocks of parrots fly chattering overhead, or you may hear a pair of laughing falcons talking to each other.
We cross into a private farm which will lead us to the destination of the Panica Falls. You may stroll along leisurely or lope though the countryside. Just about the time you are ready for a break we stop and get off and walk down to falls for a refreshing swim. The falls are beautiful and private with a perfect little natural jacuzzi. There is a small fall at the top, five o six little pools and then another larger fall at the bottom. For the “tarzan” in you there is a great rope swing with several different take off points for a little extra added excitement. We stay and swim here for a while, have a little snack and then ride back. I promise you will have an unforgettable time, something you will talk about when you get home.
This ride is between 3 and 4 hours, depending how fast you ride and how long you stop for a swim. It is best to wear long pants and shoes, and bring o wear something to swim in. You may want to bring sunscreen and a hat, and a camera is a must. We provide water and fruit and fun!
