💡 Recommendations

Currently, entry is prohibited due to geological safety reasons and a high risk of landslides.
Entering without permission harms the conservation of the taruca, an endangered local species.
If visits are allowed in the future, go in the morning to enjoy the turquoise water.
The trail is very steep and slippery. Always wear good mountain footwear.
