Descending into the lower canyon reveals the true scale of Tamarind Falls. This section holds the tallest drops and the best natural basins for swimming.

Navigating this terrain requires sturdy hiking shoes with deep traction. The steep volcanic inclines lack trail markers, making a local guide essential for a safe descent.
