Weitere Informationen:
Los Chorros Waterfalls are located between the small towns of Chilamate and Tacares, just southeast of Grecia. They sit in the Los Chorros Municipal Recreation Park (Parque Recreativo Municipal Los Chorros). This park protects a sizable swath of jungle in what is otherwise an area full of farm fields and pastures. It also serves as an important drinking water source for nearby towns like Atenas. Translating to “the Jets, ” Los Chorros gets its name from the many small but strong streams of water that pour from the hillside and rocks. There are two large waterfalls, Catarata Zamora and Catarata Prendas, along the park's hiking trail. The first one, Zamora, is magnificent cascade hurling water from about 40 meters (130 feet) above into the pool below, delivering a misty breezea as you approach. A short hike along the riverbed heads to Catarata Prendas, a similar sized fall, but on occassion, the water level in the river rises too high to pass safely.
