Description
This nature-immersed dream property is the PERFECT catch for someone who has Adventure & Ecotourism on their minds! Located off the Dominical – San Isidro highway and accessible via a prepared public road, the undoubted star of the land is the spectacular EcoChontales waterfall…but there is so much more! A waterfall-side restaurant and covered camping/events area, accommodation cabins and rooms, horse stables, beef pasturelands, and a beautiful tract of open and jungle-covered land conspire to create an OPPORTUNITY like no other – a premiere Eco & Adventure Tourism resort that can become a star of Costa Rica’s Events & Nature Tourism industry. The current onsite businesses and attractions are already well-known (rated as #2 Top Attractions of the San Isidro area by TripAdvisor) but IMAGINE what could be if your vision is manifested to take full advantage of this land!
THE WATERFALL
A leisurely 700m downhill decent from the main parking area leads to this spectacular waterfall. The roar and mist will greet you before this wonder of nature comes into full view. As you round the corner, the sight of the falling mass of water will cause you to stop in your tracks in awe. The water plunges down a 63-meter drop, crashing into the waterfall pool before cascading down into the numerous mini-canyons. The river and waterfall are surrounded by towering rainforest-covered cliffs and numerous mini-canyons and pools. Many swim holes extend downriver from the base of the waterfall while the adventurous guests may decide to jump or dive into the deep river pools! Changing rooms, toilets, food and refreshments are provided in the nearby restaurant.
THE PROPERTY
Located about a 1hr drive from Dominical, the 222-acre property is accessed via a prepared public gravel road which extends from the Dominical-San Isidro highway. Several bridges ensure safety and year-round accessibility. The internal property road passes several structures including the cabin, toilet block, parking lot and the office/accommodation area. Nearby, the stables stand adjacent to the waterfall track which, at 700m in length, provides for a beautiful walk (or horseback ride) through the rainforest. Above the grounds are the pasturelands, jungles and alpine ponds teeming with fish and ducks. Pastureland views stretch from the towering, jungle-clad central mountain spine down to the peaks and hills of the coastal ranges. The mist of the waterfall can be seen rising through the deep river valley below.
THE CAMPING / EVENTS AREA
Adjacent to the restaurant this large, covered multi-use area can support many tents, hold cultural performances, host educational seminars, and so much more! Water, electricity, bathrooms & showers, changing rooms and a campfire area are provided onsite.
The location and serenity are perfect for spiritual pursuits – yoga retreats, traditional medicine or full moon ceremonies, rejuvenation camps, meditation weekends, etc.
Fitness or adventure tourism options – such as waterfall rappelling, trail running, or tubing – can be developed as this site is PERFECT for these types of activities!
And the great thing is – you don’t have to choose just one or two options…this property is large enough to sustain the current services and activities plus ALL of the above possibilities! That is why we feel that EcoChontales is slated to become one of Costa Rica’s PREMIERE eco-tourism, adventure and events destinations.
