About this experience

Experience a complete adventure in the mountains of Juayúa, where nature and action combine in an authentic environment. After the pick-up service, the tour enters the Flower Route, an area known for its coffee plants, cool climate and trails that lead to the Seven Cascades, one of the most surprising landscapes of El Salvador. With a 4- to 5-hour hike, you’ll trek among thick vegetation, streams and wet rocks as you discover paths little traveled alongside local guides. In some waterfalls you will climb with the help of a rope and the support of the guide, adding an extra touch of adventure. During the route you can cool off with spring water, apply natural clay from the area and enjoy the tranquility of the surroundings. Each waterfall stands out for its fall and particular shape, creating ideal spaces to rest or take a dip.
