Atiquizaya – Ahuachapán Norte
Salto de Malacatiupán is the only waterfall system in El Salvador with natural hot springs, creating a one-of-a-kind destination. This stunning location sits where the Agua Caliente and San Antonio rivers meet. Three waterfalls cascade here, each about 12 meters high.
The falls lie just 20 minutes from downtown Atiquizaya, Ahuachapán, a picturesque town adorned with murals, including 3D paintings that create popular photo opportunities.
A brief hike leads you into spectacular scenery with views of the turquoise waters. According to locals, a rock formation separates the second and third waterfalls that resembles a monkey face.
