New access to Oropendula Waterfall

Visiting the beautiful Oropendula Waterfall by Hacienda Guachipelin just got easier with big improvements to the river trail and entrance. Located next to the Las Pailas entrance of the Rincon de la Vieja National Park, the trail to the waterfall has been upgraded to make it easier to walk down to the river.

Where once visitors had to ford the rock-filled river to get to the waterfall, natural pool and observation area, now there is a secure hanging bridge spanning the river from the trail to a brand new observation deck. The spacious yet unobtrusive wooden deck provides you a safe place for excellent photos of the 82-foot (25-meter) waterfall and its bright turquoise pool in the picturesque lush canyon of the Rio Blanco (White River). To get down to the waterfall pool for swimming, you now simply climb down metal rung stairs for that refreshing swim.

Hacienda Guachipelin offers tours to Oropendula Waterfall hiking or by horseback riding.
