Let’s dive into an unforgettable side of El Salvador that will make all you adventure junkies jump for joy! Put on your best water-shoes because we’re about to embark on an epic hike along the El Bebedero river and the legendary 7 Cascadas, also known as the Seven Waterfalls.

As for the environment, be prepared for a thrilling experience. We’ll be traversing steep dirt roads and trails, and yes, we’ll be walking through the water itself.
