3 เดือนที่ผ่านมาWe visited Los Cangilones de Gualaca at the beginning of July during the rainy season. Even with the rain, the place was stunning — clean, dramatic, and full of natural beauty. While we were there, the siren went off to warn visitors that water was rising quickly and getting stronger, a good safety measure that made us feel looked after. Despite the weather, we loved the experience and will definitely be back. Highly recommend — a beautiful natural spot that’s worth seeing in any season.

2 ปีที่ผ่านมาA great place to swim and enjoy ‘fish spa’. The fish literally chomp at your feet just like having a fish spa except you don’t have to pay. Water is so refreshing and clean. Canyon is deep but you can swim along the river if you can swim. It is very deep . Love our afternoon here. $2 parking per car.

3 ปีที่ผ่านมาVisited this place today and loved it. Being a Saturday in the summer it was packed with locals today but that’s fine. Added to the experience. It’s a very cool spot and so much fun jumping off the cliffs. The water was just the perfect temperature and it was very easy to spent a couple of hours here. Definitely worth going to and we would definitely go back. It was $4 for us (2 adults and two kids)

5 ปีที่ผ่านมาNice swimming spot, can get crowded on a Sunday. Perfect activity to do as a family. We paid $2 entrance per car. You can take your own food and drinks, but they also sell food, cool drinks and cold fresh coconuts ($1) It's pet friendly and there were 2 lofe guards on duty.
