El Salvador's most epic nature adventure: 7 waterfalls among virgin jungle, walking inside the river, climbing rocks and using ropes. Full duration: 5–6 hours. “This is not a normal walk. You get wet, you climb rocks, you use ropes. At the end you reach the Chorros de la Calera where you can sit in a pool and recover. It's the best nature experience there is.” Book a guide a day in advance at Hotel Anáhuac or Hostel Casa Meseta.
