Catarata Las Trillizas

Since we went to the La Muralla waterfall also in Turrialba, they told us that there were very close to these three other waterfalls known as Las Trillizas (Triplets). It took us a while to find the information until we found the contact and left. We got to where the cars are now parked to go to La Muralla and from there we went to ask for Don Alfonso, who was busy at his dairy store but he told us to give him a little time to finish and he guided us. We waited about 10 minutes and we went with him, his daughter and another boy. Basically you cross the store, from there you get to pastures and then you also cross the paddock and you start to go down the mountain until you reach the river. Don Alfonso told us that he wanted to improve the path because it was not very well marked; and he recently called us to tell us he had improved it indeed. .

Once you get to the river you walk upstream as if to the left, there is a large waterfall with a smaller one next to it, these have a delicious pool with a cold temperature but very refreshing. From there you can walk on the border where there is another waterfall much higher and with a stronger stream but the spring is not so deep. In fact you can’t get in but it’s nice for pics.

We first went to the 2 waterfalls, we left the stuff there and we went down the river to the other big one, and then we went back to the water and ate something. All three are awesome. Once we saw the big one and took pictures and videos we went back to splashing for a while in the spring, the water is crystal clear butttt .. it was cold so we got out quickly and made our classic picnic. As the weather was nice we stayed there for awhile in the stones playing around until we decided to return to go to lunch.

This area of Santa Cruz of Turrialba is amazing, it has these waterfalls, the views are beautiful and the road is the best.
