Trade your beachwear for wetsuits, climbing harnesses, life preservers and helmets. Then go jump off a cliff... Or 10! The whole thing kicks off with a short hike down into the valley before you come to the river and the first jump… Twenty-three feet straight down! That’s like jumping from a second story window! Keep your body straight and hands at your side, then just go for it! Your reward is splashing down into freezing water below! Having fun yet? It’s an awesome feeling, but only the beginning… It takes about an hour to climb over rocks, splash through pools and jump and jump and jump. Some of the cliffs are lower, around 10 or 15 feet, but plenty are 20 feet or more! And then you get to The Duck Jump. The Duck Jump is a short triangular shaped rock that jutts out over a dark turquoise pool THIRTY FEET DOWN near the foot of a tall waterfall. What can I say? Go for it! I can’t recommend this excursion and the great people at Iguana Mama enough. The Ciguapa Falls trip is fast (you’ll be back on the beach by noon), fun filled, action packed and pushes you just far enough to make it a thrill you won’t soon forget!
