Born in the Loma El Peñón hills, this waterfall forms natural pools among rocks and native vegetation. Locals protect it as a green lung and family gathering spot. The name "Pichón" comes from the crowned pigeon (paloma coronita) that nests in the cliffs. It's a living symbol of the Sierra — where clean water springs forth and the community respects and guards it.
