Suchitoto: Cuscatlán Norte

Picture yourself scrambling over crumbling rocks to reach a spectacular 10-meter waterfall. It's a true test for extreme adventure seekers!

Your efforts are rewarded with breathtaking views of Suchitlán Lake.

Researchers have studied these strange rock formations to understand how this natural wonder formed. Although legends abound, the most popular tale is of a young man from a wealthy family who fell hopelessly in love with an indigenous woman, leading to a family feud and, ultimately, a curse that would claim the young woman's family's lives. Their beautiful, colorful fabrics slowly turned to stone, explaining the origin of this remarkable formation.

This site attracts local and international tourists, especially in the rainy season when the waterfall's beauty combines with the vibrant landscape and abundant fauna.

Bring sturdy, non-slip footwear for the challenging climb.
