Walks
There is an easy walk from the tree house to our beaches, simply take the steps down that start between the caretaker house and the tree house next to the very large tree. The walk takes about 15 minutes. As you get to the bottom you turn right for Matapalo beach, left for Backwash and Pan Dulce.
The King Louis waterfall is a 30 minutes walk that begins at the stairs descending to the beaches. Take the road to the right and you will find the sign post that takes you up the river.
The Lapa Rios waterfall is a 45 minutes walk that begins at the stairs descending to the beaches. At the bottom turn left and walk to the main street. Once you hit the main road, turn right until you get to the bridge and follow the river upstream.
