The stunning El Chorro Waterfall, having the source in the Caimito River, is a natural treasure of the city of La Chorrera. Tourists from all over the world come there to enjoy the fascinating views.

Every city in Panama has something special that attracts tourists. In La Chorrera, this attraction is thirty-meter El Chorro Waterfall located about 20 minutes' drive from the city center.

Having walked along the old streets, you can find yourself in a corner of unspoiled nature in a short span of time. The huge rocks bordering the Caimito River turn into a kind of natural staircase from the height of which the water falls with a loud noise.

You can enjoy the beauty of the waterfall from different places. For example, you can go to its foot and even swim in it; or, you can get to El Chorro by a boat feeling how the flow velocity of water increases as the river approaches the waterfall. But since this is a rather risky option of adventure vacation, it is better to go on such a trip only accompanied with an experienced guide. The guide will tell you where to stop the boat in time to avoid being caught in the waterfall streams.

It is interesting that El Chorro Waterfall is not the only waterfall in this beautiful place, although it is the highest and most popular one. If you take a little walk around it, you can see not so high but equally beautiful waterfalls. They babble like brooks flowing between rocks and tree roots and creating the feeling of being in the garden of Eden, filled with pleasant sounds, aromas, and unhurried bliss.

For its beauty, El Chorro Waterfall has repeatedly become the background of various films. In the middle of the last century, American film studios feeling the need of a colorful outdoor shooting regularly came to this unspoiled natural area.
