Chorros de la Calera

North of San Salvador, in a protected national park, is the lovely village of Juayua, which is close to the Chorros de la Calera waterfall. There are many other features in the area besides waterfalls. Beautiful rainforests teeming with old trees, monkeys, birds, butterflies, and other indigenous species are also to be found there. It is undoubtedly a hiker's delight.

You will find a wall with numerous streams pouring down it into a pool that is enclosed by concrete when you arrive at the Chorros de la Calera waterfall. You can actually go and stand under the waterfall and swim in the pools when it isn't too strong. Before the arduous climb uphill to return to Juayua, it is a good idea to take a dip in the glistening clear water.

A historic church can be found on the path leading to the waterfall, and by visiting it, you can discover more about the history of the locals. It may be a good idea to check out these events and take pleasure in interactions with the locals during the weekends when the people are hosting gastronomic festivals.
