About 10–15 kilometers inland from Esterillos lies one of the area’s
best kept secrets: the Guamalotillo Waterfall.
Reaching it is straightforward — you don’t necessarily need a 4×4
vehicle, although a higher-clearance car makes the trip more
comfortable. Once there, you’ll discover a refreshing natural pool
perfect for a mid-day swim, surrounded by lush greenery and the sound
of rushing water.
Unlike many of the crowded waterfalls closer to Manuel Antonio,
Guamalotillo remains peaceful. It’s a favorite among locals and those
travelers who don’t mind a short detour off the main road.
