Born on Loma de Polo, the water runs wild through coffee farms and cloud forest before forming this cascade. The name Guayubín comes from the native tree lining its banks. La Cueva del Tigre ("Tiger's Cave") earned its fame from jaguarundi sightings decades ago. Today, local guides from the ecotourism cooperative maintain the trail, showcasing the water's power and the Sierra's endemic biodiversity.
