Waterfalls in the Valencia hills
Next door in Valencia, Casaroro Falls and other jungle waterfalls make a great cool-down day in the mountains.
The hills of Mt. Talinis are full of rivers and waterfalls. Casaroro Falls in Valencia is the best known — reaching it means steps and a rocky river walk, rewarded by a tall, narrow fall in a green canyon.
A local driver can combine waterfalls, hot springs and a mountain lunch into one day.
Highlights
- Casaroro Falls
- Jungle river walks
- Cool mountain air
Good to know
- Trails are slippery after rain and rivers can rise quickly — go with a guide.
- Wear shoes you can get wet.
