Chorro El Macho
A waterfall about 35 meters high inside a rainforest. A loop trail, suspension bridges, and a canopy zipline make it the most popular half-day outing in El Valle de Antón.
Chorro El Macho is a waterfall about 35 meters high, located about 3 kilometers north of the town center, hidden within a private rainforest reserve. After entering, a loop trail takes you through the rainforest and across suspension bridges to the viewing platform in about 20 to 30 minutes. Along the way, you often see hummingbirds and toucans. Downstream of the waterfall is a natural pool for swimming. The Canopy Adventure zipline beside the park includes a run that flies directly in front of the waterfall, making it the most popular activity here. It requires a separate ticket, about 60 to 70 US dollars. Admission is about 5 US dollars. The park is open roughly 7:00 to 17:00. A taxi from town takes about 5 minutes.
