Catarata Del Toro, Waterfall in Toro Amarillo, Costa Rica
The water drops 90 meters into an extinct volcanic crater, creating powerful cascades through dense rainforest vegetation at an elevation of 1500 meters.
The waterfall stands as a natural landmark in the region, formed over centuries by volcanic activity and water erosion in the Central Highland mountains.
Local communities maintain traditional practices of environmental conservation around the waterfall, preserving the natural habitat for native species and future generations.
Visitors need to descend 260 concrete steps to reach the observation point, and the site maintains regular hours from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM with an entrance fee.
The waterfall creates its own microclimate, supporting specific species of hummingbirds and butterflies that thrive in the constant mist environment.
