Another free day to enjoy the numerous activities possible directly from the resort. Today we recommend visiting the many blissful Waterfalls in the area by foot or mountain bike. Even if you set out very early, a 12 hour day will only allow you to see maybe half of these amazing sites, and considering you will probably want to swim and relax in each one of them, we feel you will have time for only 3 or 4. Please ask the hotel concierge of a list of waterfalls to visit, maps of the area, and their recommendation based on your interests and level of adventure sought. Don't forget to ask for a picnic lunch to take with you, or have the hotel staff arrange for a special lunch package to be arranged at one of the waterfalls. You are in for one of the most amazing days of you life.
