The main drop is about 35 meters and falls into a dammed pool where people swim. From there a trail with dirt and wooden steps climbs through the forest to a second waterfall that few people visit. The climb is short but steep.
It's a classic Cali family outing: people go to spend the day, have lunch and swim. The place has a restaurant serving lunch, a camping area and parking. It's packed on weekends and public holidays; weekdays are quieter.
It's on the same road as the Pance River and Ecoparque de la Biodiversidad, so you can combine them. We found no report of closure after the August 10, 2026 earthquake; Google Maps shows it open with recent reviews. Call before you go.
