Me and dad went to Chocoyero Nature reserve on the 20th of February. we went with the boy scouts for a day hike, and not to camp overnight. The road in was horribly bumpy and seemed to go on forever. I think we were on it for about twenty minutes, but it felt like forever. I don't think four wheel drive was necessary for this road, but i'm pretty sure it would be during the rain! Once we arrived, we had a talk about the day trip with Scoutmaster Brian, then we set off to hike.
We hiked for about half an hour, then we came to the waterfall. it was cool, and stood at, by my estimate, over 75 feet tall. The water fall was quite impressive, because the forest seemed to open up, to reveal the cliffs and the waterfall.
We took a fifteen minute break by a large Matapalo tree, to let the others catch up. Shortly after our break, we continued into this open area, that revealed that we were in a valley, and there were mountains on either side
It was a fun day trip, but i was disappointed that we came at the wrong time, and didn't see the parrots. Apparently, if you are there at dawn or dusk, hundreds of parrots will leave their nests in the cliffs, and fly above your heads. We had a good time and it was a good day, and I would call the hike Easy-Medium, because it was mostly flat, and only took 1 1/2-2 hours.
