Nauyaca Waterfalls


Nauyaca Waterfalls

The Nauyaca Waterfalls are located in a canyon approximately eight meters wide.

One of the falls is forty-five meters high in free fall and the other, twenty meters high with a tiered fall, forming at the bottom a 1,000 square meter and six meter deep pool.

It's the perfect place to spend a hot afternoon. It took us about 1.5 hours to reach the falls by horseback. The falls and the eco tour have a very interesting story and if you have time - you should read about it. http://www.cataratasnauyaca.com/history.htm This region was once clear cut for pastures. They have done an excellent job of restoring it.
