Chorro Macho

Nice place to visit while in the Anton Valley. This cascada is nestled in a little rainforest canyon area just outside of town. There is a short but interesting trail with hanging bridges and beautiful vistas. You can zip line if you choose and there is a small swimming area at the base for swimming and relaxing. Happy I went and enjoyed the interesting scenery.

Breathtaking falls, crisp streams, bridges that make you want to jump. Wish I had worn my suit to swim in the natural pool. Be sure to take the walking stick they offer. The path can be slippery.

It's a one-time adventure with five zip lines across the jungle and one over the Chorro Macho cascade. You can also walk through the forest in a well maintained trails and bridges to get a front view of the Chorro Macho. I don't recommend toddlers or elderly but the access is not restricted. You SHOULD finish in the ~24° C cold pool, with running water directly from the cascade. Not wheelchair accessible to the zip lines or jungle, but with little effort people with disabilities can reach the natural pool. I have to highlight the very nice people attending the site, that will explain to you every detail of the tour and will guide you safely. You can choose tours from half an hour and up to four hours. You need to bring water, snacks, and towels. Bathrooms are available, but not showers. Please note this experience is part of the Canopy Family tour company.

Not what I expected. The hike itself is pleasant but very short. The trail is easy and well marked out. It has lots of railings and safety ropes. The jungle is peaceful and lush. Only concern is the $5 entrance fee per person to do a 10 to 15 minute walk. Seems high considering other hikes in the area.

Enjoyed a nice hour here on a cloudy day. The falls themselves are quite impressive and the bridges/walkways do their job well. The natural pools are a construction built on a diversion of the stream many meters after the falls themselves. However we did not canopy or zip line because of the price. 20$ for a single zip line and full ride for 65$ is too much for my tastes, I’d bet they have more turnover if they halved the price, but that’s just my opinion, maybe they sell all the time :) All in all, I would still recommend a visits.

This is my fourth time visiting this place. It is my favorite place in all of Anton valley. I love taking a hike in this rainforest along its narrow walkways. They are perfectly set along the contours of the hills. They guide you up and down along the trees and plants while you intake the rainforest scent and the sound of the birds. Along the way, the three suspension bridges take you over the fast moving crystal clear water coming from the waterfall. The water finds Its way into the man-made swimming pool. This is where the crystal clear water turns dark but that should not deter you from taking a dip. The walk through the entire trail usually takes me around thirty minutes because I take my time. The total length of the trail is around two hundred meters so it will not tire you out. You are not supposed to leave the trail and walk into the waterfall, by the way. This place does not allow you to venture there. So you will be left to enjoy the view from one of the suspension bridges and an observation deck. Highly recommended for kids because they will find it to be an adventure. The loose nature of rope suspended bridges will add to the fun. The sound of birds reverberating through the trees is something to behold. Be careful, though, since some of the walkways are steep at times. It will cost you five dollars to enter. To see the pool area is an additional two dollars and fifty cents. To actually use the pool will be an additional five dollars. They also have zip lining and guided tours up to three hours in duration.

5$ ticket only for the pool. The water is flowing so they are clean. The pool is bit deep in one side. It’s 30 min walk from town center. It’s 15 min walk from entrance to the pool and you can see great waterfall. It’s good place to rest and cool after long trek in mountain. The water is cold.

I went today with the pouring rain and paid $3. I didn't see any pools where to swim but there is only a 200mt path with short bridges and stairs but it's veautiful and totally worth the $3. I got to go right near the water fall, none else there walking. Very slippery so make sure you have proper hiking shoes. I even had to take my shoes off at some point because path was flooded. Only 20 min to walk take pictures and go back but totally worth it
