The 'small' waterfall near town is pleasant and worth a walk up there. Nothing spectacular. You can have lunch or a drink when you get there, too.

Be sure to check if the fall are running or dry before you go...otherwise it's great and there's a little place to grab a water, a beer and/or a snack when you arrive.
Two waterfalls, one close to the village. But allow four hours to visit the upper "cascadia". Take lunch and a swimsuit. Make sure you get good instructions and make sure not to miss the gate!! Most of the hike is quite easy with a few moderately tough spots.

well worth the hike!!!! Keep following the path and you will eventually come to a gate....crawl through the barbed wire and down a little path and you are there!
Take the Mismaloya bus to Boca (7 peso) take water taxi to Yelapa 120 peso round trip. Wonderful 30 minute boat ride along the coast to get to the beach. Can use chairs there for free. Just buy a beer or 2. Can para sail. See the water falls by going through town. Walk it in 20 min for free...

Ranchers on mules with a donkey in tow, loaded up with firewood, bags of fruit, luggage, followed by 2 or three dogs. Family style taco stands, small stores selling drinks, snacks, etc. were prevalent during the first hour of the walk, then...

The town waterfall is a pretty easy hike compared to the "up river cascades". It is shady and cool. A good get away from the hot sun in the afternoons.
