The Devil´s cauldron waterfall or Pailon del Diablo Waterfall is 262 feet (80 meters) high, the waterfall feels so much taller when standing right next to it.

The force of that churning water created a dramatic bowl where it meets the mountain. That bowl holds all of that swirling water before allowing it to exit through a rocky channel down to the valley below. We will make a walk to get next to the waterfall.
