About
Datos rápidos: A lush hillside pours into a network of turquoise plunge pools shaped by smooth limestone, where waist-to-shoulder depth spots make cooling off easy for most swimmers. Local vendors and guides cluster by bamboo steps offering fresh coconut and tips on the safest rope-swing spots, so newcomers can relax and follow the locals' lead.
Destacados: Three tiers of falling water stack like a natural stairway, each pool framed by dangling vines and sunlit mist that paints faint rainbows across the surface. A popular rope swing hangs about 3 to 4 meters above the deepest pool, the hollow thud of a belly-flop and the splash echoing off mossy rock creating a playful soundtrack visitors chase all afternoon.
Insider tips
- Wear sturdy water shoes for slippery rocks and the uneven descent.
- Arrive before 9:30 am to beat the bulk of day-trippers and enjoy calmer pools.
- Climb to the upper tiers for quieter swimming spots and better views, but avoid jumping when the flow is strong.
- Carry small bills for entrance, lockers and parking, and leave valuables in a waterproof pouch or locker.
