About this activity

Tomorrow: Cacheuta and Thermal

Early departure: Kick off the day with a coffee and get ready for the adventure.

Arrival in Cacheuta: Walk through the village, maybe a classic photo on the suspension bridge doesn’t hurt.

Cacheuta Hot Springs: Time to disconnect. Soak in the hot spring pools, relax with mountain views and, if you’re hungry, a lunch right there with a barbecue would be perfect.

Afternoon: Dike and Jump Potrerillos

Road to the Potrerillos Dam: Take the opportunity to stop at a viewpoint and take some pictures of the spectacular landscape.

Dique Potrerillos: Enjoy the peace of the lake. You can walk along the shore or just relax with the sound of water.

El Salto Potrerillos: Close the day with a visit to this quiet and charming place. The combination of waterfall and mountain is a golden snap for the day.
