SALTO SUIZO

Natural site to discover

The highest waterfall in the country, at 60 m high. It is more beautiful after a few days of rain, but it is precisely there that the track is the most difficult (1 hour in 4x4). So the best way to get there is by bike. In the dry season, the waterfall is just a trickle, a little disappointing. The site has been laid out with iron stairs and guides available on site. A zip line (200 m long and 80 m high) awaits the most daring (another is planned). The viewpoint of Cerro de la Cruz (555 m high) is 1 km away.
