Tours - Tamanique Waterfalls Tour 4-5 hours activity

Tour Description

We recommend doing this activity early in the morning. We pick you up from your hotel at approx 7:30 from San Salvador (We will confirm this with you). We start the hike to the waterfalls in the town of Tamanique, there are bathrooms and a convenience store to get water and snacks. We walk approx 40 minutes to the first area of the river where we can jump down from natural cliffs, you can jump here as many times as you like. The jumps here have a height of around 3 to 8 meters and jumping is completely optional. There is a natural waterslide here, and if the current is good, we can slide. Then we walk 10 to 20 minutes to checkout a beautiful waterfall where you can swim. There is a bigger waterfall where we can go, this waterfall is approx 50mts high and its the tallest waterfall in the area. You can also swim under the waterfall here. The way back is very steep and many times you will need to use your hands to climb up. It takes approx 60 minutes to get back to the town. We recommend bringing at least 2lts of water and a snack. The temperature during the hike is very hot and humid. Please email us if you would like to get more information about this activty. This activity is very demanding and hard and we do not recommended it for small children or people with some type of disabilites or illnesses.
