Leave Dominical by 6am — the trail is 3 hours each way and the midday heat on the exposed sections is brutal. The pool beneath the upper falls is worth the full effort. The horseback option is available for the return.

Afternoon; check park closing time
Two hours north on the coastal road, inside Manuel Antonio National Park. The Biesanz branch trail is not signposted — ask the rangers at the entrance. Park closes at 4pm.
