Behind Salto Ventoso

The write-up

The basalt undercut here is deep enough that a walkway runs the full width behind the falling water. You come out the other side soaked and half deaf. It's on private land and the family that owns it charges a small fee, which is the only reason it hasn't been ruined — numbers stay low and the path stays unimproved.

Best window

After rain, when the curtain is full. Midday for light through the water.

Watch out

The ledge behind the falls is permanently wet basalt. Hold the chain, and don't do it in trainers.

Access

Someone owns it and will say yes if you ask. Ask.
