A fantastic mix of experiences...highly recommend!
Highly recommend this for. Jimmy was a great tour guide--he is extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife & vegetation in the area. The hikes to the hanging bridges were not difficult but did feel like decent hikes. The hanging bridges were safe--someone in our party was afraid of heights but had no problem going on these bridges. The views were amazing and the waterfall swim was refreshing & nice. The homemade meal was the best meal we had from any of our tours.

A trip away from the usual
Jose picked us up from our hotel and drove us over some rough roads to our destination in Los Campesinos, a little over an hour from Manuel Antonio. The mountain setting was beautiful (and a nice change from the M.A. area) and the waterfalls and hanging bridges definitely lived up to expectation. Swimming in the waterfall pool was a plus, especially after a rather sweaty morning of hiking. A pleasant surprise was the home cooked traditional lunch at the end. They were able to accommodate our vegetarian meal preference. Jose was very patient and did not rush us from activity to activity. My only suggestion for improvement would be for Efrain's Tours to provide more information on what to expect on the tour. For example, I didn't know about lunch and swimming except from other reviews. Otherwise, although a little more expensive than other tours, this was well worth it.
Response from the operator: We truly appreciate you taking the time to share such detailed feedback! 😊 At Efrain’s Nature Tours, we’re so glad you enjoyed your visit to Los Campesinos and We’re so glad you enjoyed the change of landscape, the natural pools, and the elevated walkways, which together create such a unique setting away from the coastal area. It’s also great to know the freshly prepared local meal added something special to the experience. Jose will be happy to know his patience and attentive service made a positive difference throughout the day. We also sincerely appreciate your suggestion regarding clearer details about what’s included. That’s very helpful feedback, and we will absolutely take it into consideration to improve how we communicate tour expectations in advance. Thank you again for choosing us. We hope to welcome you back for another memorable adventure in Costa Rica! 🌿

Campesinos Waterfalls and Hanging Bridges from Manuel Antonio: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quepos.
How much does Campesinos Waterfalls and Hanging Bridges from Manuel Antonio cost?
+
Prices start at $136 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Quepos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Campesinos Waterfalls and Hanging Bridges from Manuel Antonio take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Quepos is not rushed.
Is Campesinos Waterfalls and Hanging Bridges from Manuel Antonio worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 23 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Quepos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Campesinos Waterfalls and Hanging Bridges from Manuel Antonio?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Campesinos Waterfalls and Hanging Bridges from Manuel Antonio suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Campesinos Waterfalls and Hanging Bridges from Manuel Antonio?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Quepos can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Quepos and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Campesinos Waterfalls and Hanging Bridges from Manuel Antonio start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Quepos within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Quepos?
+
On Outty we rank every Quepos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full Day Waterfall Adventure, Manuel Antonio Canopy Tour - Longest Twin Zip Line in Central America, Manuel Antonio Park Tour and its Amazing Wildlife and Beaches. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Quepos?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Quepos?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Campesinos Waterfalls and Hanging Bridges from Manuel Antonio?
+
Included: Bottled water; Lunch; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Campesinos Waterfalls and Hanging Bridges from Manuel Antonio include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 53 listed pickup locations in and around Quepos. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Campesinos Waterfalls and Hanging Bridges from Manuel Antonio offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
