    Tips

    June 28, 2026

    El Charco de la Virgen is a natural pool fed by an 18-meter waterfall in the bed of the río de los Caballos river. To reach the last section, you have to enter the riverbed itself and advance by jumping between rocks. In summer it is a very popular destination for swimming, although it should be noted that the place is shady and the water remains cold almost all year round. If the summer has been dry, the flow may be disappointing: the best time to see it with its full force is spring.

    Hiking

    The waterfall is called "Charco de la Virgen" or "Pozo de la Virgen".
    It's often packed there on the weekends because it's so easy to get to and a popular picnic spot. During the week it is much more pleasant.
