Experience the rejuvenating power of water in Mashpi as you hike down to a captivating waterfall surrounded by lush primary forest. This trail of medium difficulty takes you through the heart of the Reserve where centuries-old trees, including the emblematic copal tree (Dacryodes cupularis), have survived the impacts of logging. Upon arrival, immerse yourself in the energizing water with a refreshing swim, with temperatures ranging from 18 to 20°C (64 to 68°F).

Don't forget your swimming suit! As you bask in the beauty of the waterfall, admire its misty curtain created by the cascading rocks. In addition to being visually stunning, the resin of the copal tree has various traditional uses, including as an anesthetic and for burning as incense, and is even combustible.
