Catarata Tesoro Escondido
Why this spot is special
Catarata Tesoro Escondido in Bajos del Toro is special because it feels like a secret world carved into the jungle.
The waterfall drops into an unreal, deep-turquoise pool—colored naturally by volcanic minerals—creating a look that almost feels otherworldly. The canyon walls rise around it, narrowing the light and giving the location a hidden, dramatic atmosphere that most travelers never see.
Unlike the popular waterfalls in Costa Rica, Tesoro Escondido takes effort to reach, so there are fewer crowds. That isolation gives creators clean shots, untouched nature, and a peaceful environment that feels authentic and raw.
It’s the type of place where every angle looks cinematic—perfect for editorial travel content, moody adventure shots, and branding that feels exclusive and undiscovered.
