Cascada El Meco
A wide waterfall near El Naranjal, reached by boat for close views, with swimming and kayaking in the pool below.
The waterfall is about 35 metres high, with abundant water falling like a curtain into a green river valley. The viewing platform offers an overview, and the downstream dock provides ferry boats, kayaks, and jumping activities. Entrance is cheap, and boat fees are extra. It lies about 5 kilometres north of El Naranjal and can be visited on the same day as El Salto and Minas Viejas. Be cautious of swift currents in the rainy season.
