Popular places to visit

These are the Montezuma waterfalls-- and there are two more above this big one that you can jump off! Only a 20-30 minute hike up to the top. Be sure let a local show you the longer way around to hike to the 2nd and 3rd falls rather than climb up waterfall itself. To find them you just go behind the Mariposario bed and breakfast.
