History

Born from the Limón River on Loma de la Cueva, this 130–160-foot drop exists thanks to the karst topography typical of the South. The La Cueva del Agua community protects it as their lifeblood and natural swimming spot. Once a path for small farmers and woodcutters, today it's Estebanía's ecotourism pride — where icy water springs from between rocks and guácima trees (wild guava).
