Victor, tour operator and guide, will take you out behind his home, across a stream and through a bamboo farm. Cross through a river on foot and trek back into the primary rainforest.
Rest by the crisp, clean cascades of the Uvita River and take a dip in its cool spring-fed waters. A hundred yards from the river, a 40-foot waterfall ushers waters over its mossy cliff face into the river below. Hike among boulders and cobblestones, between the rivers and the waterfalls, but make sure to bring an old pair of shoes that can get wet. Enjoy a snack of fresh fruit by the river before coasting back into town, 4 miles in total.
Uvita Adventure Tours offers four different mountain biking tours ranging in difficulty from beginner to expert. The Bamboo Forest Waterfall Combo tour is the cheapest, easiest and most popular, but a six-hour trip into the mountain behind Uvita is only a $10 more.
