Guanaverde DMC

Gavilán, situated on the northern flank of Rincon de la Vieja Volcano, boasts an enviable array of natural resources, including a verdant protected rainforest and diverse local fauna.



We shall convene at Gavilan de Upala, an area situated within the northern region of Rincon de la Vieja Volcano. This expedition entails a moderate to advanced trekking route, tailored specifically to your physical capabilities and environmental conditions. Our itinerary encompasses two distinct paths:

Upon commencing our journey, we shall traverse approximately 25 minutes along scenic nature trails, during which we shall encounter diverse arrays of flora and fauna. Our ultimate destination lies at El Santuario Waterfall, concealed amidst the volcanic landscape. This breathtaking sight awaits us upon reaching the summit; however, prior to this milestone, we must navigate a 1-kilometer single-track trail, culminating in a total distance of 2 kilometers. Along the way, there will be opportunities to ascend and descend in elevation, as well as cross over various natural formations.

Our final leg of the journey involves traversing a picturesque turquoise river canyon, requiring a swim of 25 meters to reach our objective. Upon successfully completing these challenges, we shall witness one of the most spectacular waterfalls found in the vicinity of Rincon de la Vieja Volcano.
