Take the right fork and after around two hours total, you’ll get to the falls, quite a big one with plenty of water.
If you take the left fork, you’ll end up on the Rio Enmedio, and there’s another falls up there too, but it may be another two three hours to reach it. It’s not a very big falls and can be dry, so we don’t recommend it.
Good luck, this will be one of the best adventures of your trip to Costa Rica.
