About this experience

The nature trail enters the lush tropical rainforest and passes mineral streams and pools on the way to Sapphire Falls, a 35-foot mineral waterfall fed from the volcano. Relax here with some amazing photo opportunities.
Once you leave this paradise your guide will escort you back to the estate for a delicious local lunch.
