But we had this last hike to try out and I was just hoping both that I would feel well enough and also that our car would be able to make it back on the very steep gravel road back from the parking spot (after almost getting stuck around Monteverde earlier on the trip). As we’ve been getting used to we were first to arrive so we had this awesome place completely to ourselves for a little while in the morning before other tourists started to drop in. It really felt like a fairytale. (Oh, and the car made it back okay!) #nature #costarica #centralamerica #waterfalls](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6338897/22138724-332b-4ccd-b5f3-9818e454eaf3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ## Barú Attractions Let Expedia help you experience the best that Barú has to offer!
