La Cueva del Gallo Waterfall

La Cueva del Gallo Waterfall, near Las Matas de Farfán, is a cascade that drops into a natural swimming hole surrounded by lush vegetation. The name comes from a nearby cave where birds nest. Getting there takes a moderate hike along rural trails — hiring a local guide is recommended for safety. Perfect for a refreshing dip and photos in a peaceful setting. Wear closed-toe shoes, bring water and bug spray. An authentic slice of the Sierra de Neiba where you can enjoy nature without the crowds.

The falls spring from Loma del Curro, deep in the heart of the Sierra de Neiba. Its cold waters wind through coffee plantations and cloud forest, forming natural pools made for cooling off. The name comes from the wild roosters that crow in the area. It's a must-stop for anyone heading up the mountain looking for fresh air and untouched scenery, far from the noise.
