The Volio Waterfall near Bri-Bri, accessible by hiking trail with local guides |
A group of 4 tourists from Spain were taken to the Volio Waterfall up past BriBri by a local guide from Puerto Viejo. One the men was in the waterfall when all of a sudden a large volume of water (called a head water) surged over the waterfall and knocked the man into the pool. It appears he drowned instantly.
Rains have been very heavy this November and December. It is surprising that a local guide would not be aware of the dangers of this type of excursion with these weather conditions.
