Boat off the beach at Yelapa
All year

Yelapa – Majahuitas

Yelapa has no road: you arrive by sea and get around on foot. You climb to the waterfall, eat on the beach at Majahuitas and come back feeling you have been far away, even though you leave and return the same day.

Ask on WhatsApp
How far is the walk to the waterfall?

About 20 minutes through the village streets, with a gentle climb. Sandals work, but sneakers are better.

Is there phone signal at Majahuitas?

No. It is part of the charm: let people know before you leave that you will be offline until five.

Can I pay in cash?

The deposit is by bank transfer or card; the balance is paid at the dock in cash or by card.

Can children come?

Yes, from 4 years old. The walk is easy and the beach at Majahuitas has no waves.
