Los Chorros De la Calera



Juayua's pride. The waterfalls are only 2 kmts from the center of town. "Los Chorros" are three waterfalls in different sizes, between 5 and 60 meters tall. Underneeth, the water gathers in pools which were originally made to create and use the energy of the water. The waterfalls are united by tunnels. The tour starts with a hike through coffee plantations and tropical forest. When you finally get into the clean and refreshing water you will feel in deep contact with nature. And if you dare to go through the tunnel you will
feel the adrenaline in your veins. The best time to make this tour is in the morning.

Geishers and hotsprings



If you think you've seen it all, this is the tour for you! From Finca El Portezuelo hiking up the mountain
through the cloudforest and the gardens of wild orquids. Pasing coffee plantations and ravines you'll get to the geishers. A place in the middle of nowhere, where you really feel the power of nature. The mud, which is created there, is curing for the skin. In the hotspring you can wash yourself in the mud and the hot water, and finally forget everything about stress. We will bring breakfast and coffee or tea for the break.

Horsebackriding



Going up the mountain of Apaneca, pasing through the small "coffeepicker" community "San Juan de Dios" you'll get to Finca El Portezuelo. Inside there will be 17 peruvian horses, ready to take you for a ride through the coffee plantations, cloudforests and wild orquid gardens. You will be able to see 3rd part of El Salvador from the back of a beautiful and calm horse.
