ℹ️ Full Description

You’ll start the tour with your guide, leaving the meeting point and heading toward the trailhead. As you walk along the Rio Blanco, the water glistens with a mineral richness, and the forest canopy above feels wild yet peaceful. Throughout the hike, you'll cross small streams, climb rock ladders, and navigate through narrow cave passages carved by ancient volcanic activity.

When you reach the canyon, you’ll use a rope to access a secluded cavern, where La Leona Waterfall reveals itself — powerful yet elegant, tucked away from the more traveled paths. Here, you can swim in the calm, refreshing waters, take in the beauty of the surroundings, and pause to rest and reflect. After soaking up the scenery and swimming, you’ll hike back out along the same trail, retracing your steps through the forest and river crossings.
