Full Description 🥾
The adventure begins in the small community of Magua, where you will meet your local guide and start the expedition into Salto de la Jalda National Park. The trail leads you through a diverse landscape of cocoa and coffee plantations before entering the primary tropical forest. Along the way, you will navigate river crossings and winding paths under the shade of giant ferns and ancient trees. The sound of rushing water grows louder as you approach the majestic falls.
