History

Springing from Loma El Penón, this waterfall emerges amid coffee groves and cloud forest that the Los Guayubines community guards as living heritage. Its name honors the wild lemon trees lining its banks. For generations it served as a natural laundry spot and community gathering point; today a community-maintained trail lets visitors experience it without harming the watershed that supplies the town.
