Siete Cascadas
A series of waterfalls and pools in a canyon north of Sucre, where you can swim in summer; a favorite weekend spot for locals.
Siete Cascadas lies in a valley about 9 km north of the city. Climb the rocks alongside a small stream to pass multiple tiers of waterfalls and clear pools. The first few are easy to reach, but higher up you need to scramble with both hands and feet. Local young people often come on weekends to swim and picnic. There are no official tickets or facilities, and the route is not clearly marked, so go with companions or a guide. Rocks are slippery after rain, so take extra care. You can take a taxi or minibus to a nearby village and then walk for about an hour.
