Ojo de Agua and hike

Embark on a day tour with a moderately easy hike to San Ramón Waterfalls followed by relaxation at the Ojo de Agua swimming pools.

The Latin saying “in medio stat virtus” (virtue stands in the middle) reflects our approach here—an activity that strikes a balance. We’ll hike a bit to reconnect with our bodies and marvel at nature’s wonders, yet also carve out time to unwind and enjoy ourselves. Our itinerary begins with a hike through the Volcano Maderas rainforest, where we’ll indulge in bathing under waterfalls. Afterward, we’ll visit one of the most spectacular swimming pools around: Ojo de Agua. Be sure to bring your swimsuit and join us for a refreshing day of adventure and relaxation!

The itinerary

We’ll pick you up from your hotel door at 8 am and head towards Maderas volcano. After a 1.5 to 2-hour hike along the volcano’s slopes, passing through cultivated fields and tropical forests teeming with birds, mammals, and reptiles, we’ll reach the magnificent San Ramon waterfalls. Here, you can shower under the impressive 50-meter waterfall and soak in the stunning surroundings.

Next, we’ll hike back to our starting point, hop back into the vehicle, and drive for 30 minutes to reach Ojo de Agua. This natural pool is fed by thermal waters from the volcano, providing a perfect spot to relax and unwind in the afternoon.
