Pulhapanzak Waterfall
Cataratas de Pulhapanzak
Honduras’s best-known waterfall, about 43 metres high. With a guide, you can climb into a cave behind the curtain of water, and zip lines cross the gorge overhead.
Pulhapanzak Falls lies about 15 km north of Lake Yojoa, near San Buenaventura. The Lindo River plunges over a rock face about 43 metres high, sending up a fine mist. The park has viewpoints, a swimming pool and natural pools. The most popular activity is following a guide along slippery rocks into a cave behind the falls. The trip takes about an hour, and you will get completely soaked, so bring a swimsuit and non-slip shoes. Several zip lines also give you a bird’s-eye view of the falls. The park preserves some Maya-era mounds. Entry is about US$5, and the water-curtain adventure and zip lines cost extra. From Los Naranjos, a local minibus or tuk-tuk takes about 30 minutes.
