Our tour guide , Salva , drove us to the Tamanique waterfalls about a 30 minute drive from Surf city. On the journey he spoke of the history of the indigenous people of El Salvador . We started the walk accompanied by a local guide with a 30 Minute walk down to the highest waterfall - approx 40 m. We could cool down after the walk in the beautiful clear waters and jumped off the ledges into the pools . We then walked up a further 10-15 mins visiting another water hole and falls , smaller , but just as beautiful . Silva was an excellent guide and we all enjoyed his local knowledge of the region . A great afternoon.
The best super nice gentle friendly good explanation about stories from the place I recommend it quality of people

Went on a wonderful hike with the tour guide Chamba, an amazing guide and an amazing soul. I went alone and I was very nervous to go on a solo trip but my first activity was this hike and Chamba made me feel so comfortable and confident but also safe. Great knowledge of the area, nature and waterfalls. Fun communicative and helpful. I’m not a great swimmer but Chamba directed me on what was on my level if difficulty. When I come back this is the first person im notifying. Thank you Chamba and thank you TuncoLife Tour Agency

The waterfalls were so so beautiful and our tour guide- Chamba made it even more amazing. Very funny and kept everyone in a good mood. Also he did some super crazy jump into the waterfall and was more than happy to take pics and videos. Totally recommend the experience. Highly suggest to wear athletic shoes.:)
