Salto de Malacatiupan

One of the waterfalls that is a little off the main road and 45 minutes from La Ruta de Las Flores is Salto de Malacatiupan. You can be sure that you will love your time in the area if you decide to explore these waterfalls. The water from this waterfall is hot because the local volcanic activity has increased the temperature of the earth's crust.

The Salto de Malacatiupan is the only thermal waterfall in El Salvador, so you shouldn't pass on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity without taking advantage of all the area has to offer. The waterfall, which consists of three cascades, is only a short distance away, and the breathtaking surroundings will enchant you as you approach it. The waterfall is strengthened by cascades that are created by the terrain naturally where Antonio and the River Caliente converge.

The hot water has created natural pools where you can leisurely take a bath. When you hike to the lower side of the waterfalls, there are strong falls down. As you explore the warm water, you can take additional photos of the spectacular view the steam creates. Due to the salts that the water dissolves in while erupting through the earth's crust, warm to hot water is thought to have therapeutic powers for the skin.

You can take photos beneath the waterfalls, which are about twelve meters high. It's a good idea to take pictures of the third waterfall because it resembles a monkey. The lush green environment surrounding the waterfall is a result of the cool climate. You should take pictures there because it is the ideal setting.
