Cascada El Salto
A 70-metre-high waterfall at its most spectacular in the rainy season; in the dry season, the travertine pool below is open for swimming.
El Salto Waterfall lies north of El Naranjal. Because of water diversion from an upstream hydroelectric plant, the falls often dry up in the dry season, leaving only the blue travertine pool for swimming. In the rainy season the water is mighty, unlike other falls where the water turns murky. The site has trails and food services, and admission is inexpensive. Before setting out, it is advisable to check the water level with locals. It is only a few kilometres from El Meco Waterfall, so you can visit both on the same trip.
Opening hours
About 08:00–17:00
