La Guaria Waterfalls and recreational area is located in the municipality
of Dota, Costa Rica. The Dota-Tarrazú Mountains are a magnificent
part of the Talamanca Sierra, in southwestern Costa Rica. One of
the best-known Costa Rican regions , an area that reflects the history
of the country and its beginnings. The area combines breathtaking
scenery with great coffee and a rich history. Tarrazú-Dota
area is a rural community noted throughout the world for its traditional
values, its abundant natural beauty and bountiful resources. Majestic
Mountains, scenic forests, rolling hills and verdant valleys characterize
the land and provide a changing kal eidoscope
of beauty both in the dry and rainy seasons.
La Guaria Waterfalls and recreational area are in La Guaria de
Dota, in the southern part of the Dota Municipality, an area that
is part of the Naranjo River Basin. It is located just 15 minutes
by car north from the small town of San Joaquín and 20 minutes
by car south of downtown Santa María. The area encompasses
8 hectares (19.7 acres) of untouched cloud forest and 16 hectares
(39.5 acres) currently being restored to its natural state.
This recreational area is set between the roaring Naranjo River
and a small tributary creek, facing the Quepos/Manuel Antonio plain.
Mr. Valverde, the previous owner, settled in this hillside back
in the early 1900´s and made the site a place for the local
folks to enjoy. Now, after years of planning, the Umaña family
finally opened their recreational area with larger facilities in
the summer of 2001. All members of the family participate in taking
care of the property.
This pristine land has about 1 mile of trails, bungalows, an access
road plus few coffee trees and a small pond. But the most interesting
attractions are a 100-meters-tall waterfall, another small cascade
upstream, a field perfect for backpackers and campers plus several
acres of lush tropical-cloud forests. It sits right at the edge
of the Los Santos Forest Reserve. It is a quiet, secluded land between
1650-1800 meters (5413-5905 feet) above sea level and away from
the spoiled parts of the country. Average temperature is 66 degrees
Fahrenheit ( approx. 19 degrees Celsius.) The Umaña Family
has kept this fine property with an unusual focus in organic farming
plus respect to the animals and plants in its natural habitat. Only
visitors who share the same values and principles in protecting
this secluded piece of paradise are allowed to enter.
The visitors are transported from the Airport or the small town
of Santa Maria to the Highlands through narrow roads by small 4X4
vehicles. Once at the site, and after a good rest, a tourist guide
takes them to the cabins and show the visitors a first glance of
all interesting flora and fauna in the surrounding fields. Spectacular
views of both the Quepos plain far below and the nearby forested
hills and ridgelines of the Los Santos forest reserve remind the
visitors the uncalculating value of the ecosystem of which the waterfalls
site are a part. Horseback rides, guided tours, trout fishing or
simply staring at the amazing waterfalls are some of the few amenities
offered to visitors. A seemingly endless list of species of plants
and animals can be found. Sighted animals include the Coyote, howling
monkeys, white-faced monkeys, slots, jaguars, frogs of many types
and tepezcuintles, among others. Oak trees, giant tree ferns, bromeliads,
orchids, lichens, ferns, mosses and fungi are common around the
Waterfalls.
Bird species sighted within this property includes the Resplendent
Quetzal: sacred bird of the Mayans, the Magnificent Hummingbird
(Eugenes fulgens), Yellow-billed Cacique (Amblycercus holosericeus,)
and the Acorn Woodpecker (Melanerpes formicivorus).
This rich variety is only possible given the unique characteristics
and location of the site, the high altitude and its closeness to
the Pacific Ocean.
The owners of La Guaria Waterfalls and Recreational area are committed
to implement environmentally-friendly practices. The trails were
constructed with erosion control methods. Waste recycling is implemented
in order to avoid any damage to the nearby creek and the Naranjo
River.
Underlying the mission of the owners is the determination to protect
the upper section of the Naranjo river watershed, while holding
a deep respect for individuals inside and outside the recreational
area and for the Quepos/Manuel Antonio communities and ecosystems
downstream, of which they are a part. This property is also supported
by T.Umaña J. Sucesores S.A. , a Tarrazú coffee Estate
farm worldwide recognized for its focus on environmental issues
and quality coffees. If you want to visit this beautiful place,
