Cascada Verde

Lonely Planet may earn a commission from affiliate links on our site. All recommendations and reviews reflect our own independent opinions.

Around 2.5km inland and uphill (toward Cascada Verde hostel), this waterfall plunges into an inviting deep pool, perfect for a refreshing dip. Visitors may see daredevils lie down at the top and slide some five meters down the cascade. This isn't recommended; the official path to the top is in disrepair and fenced off (rule breakers use the obvious hole in the fence).

A trail leads down the hill to a smaller waterfall and Poza Pool beneath, also suitable for swimming. Keep walking along the path and you'll come to a tropical garden and the lower car park for the falls. A bar at the top entrance serves hot and cold drinks (from US$2-5), plus tacos, hummus, pasta and falafel (from US$6).
