Is it safe?

A quieter 6-hour south-shore cove outing from Boca de Tomatlán (age 6+, max 12). Reaches a jungle waterfall via a 20-minute uphill trail (on foot or hired horse/mule) with slippery stream rocks.

  • •Wet-surf panga boarding in Boca and Quimixto requires sturdy strapped sandals or water shoes.
  • •The 20-minute dirt path to the waterfall can be hot and steep in midday sun — pack water, bug spray and sneakers if walking.
  • •Never dive headfirst into the waterfall plunge pool; check water depth and wet boulders carefully before wading.
  • •Bring small bills in pesos for beachside meals or optional horse rentals.

Always confirm with the operator: rules and conditions can change.

Best for

  • Travelers who already saw Yelapa or want an even calmer cove
  • Active guests happy to hike 20 minutes into jungle shade

Probably not for you

  • Kids under 6 or visitors uncomfortable with uneven dirt trails
