Gorge, part 3

Again, near the Salto #1

Gorge, cont.

It looks like a good place for a dive, but Please don't chance it. Julia wisely just posed…

Gorge by the Salto

A little lower from where we parked our car, there's a little gorge. People can swim there as well, though if you're claustrophobic, maybe stay farther down from where the water actually falls.

Also a side note, if it's been raining a lot, you're probably not going to be getting your car across these rivers and going to need to start your journey a bit farther away (closer to the bridge that goes across to the Balneario Sudamely, a half mile back).

Salto - worth the views

Salto de Omoa #1

Almost there - Salto Omoa

It might have been an hour hike, but we were so glad for the effort.

This is about where you start your hike out for Salto #1.

Salto de Omoa #1

This is the first of multiple waterfalls in Omoa. Near Balneario Sudamely.

details:
Cross both creeks and go to the left, parking by the few houses. It's about an hour hike following the river/creek up to the waterfall.

Wear shoes that can get wet.

Recommendations: If you are going to go visit this Salto, go in a group and don't take valuables. (If you want to take your phone, might be better if there's at least one guy in the group. There were a group of boys at the waterfall that were eyeing our phones, so we ended up leaving sooner than later).
