Salto de Chilasco
Located in the more extensive forrest of Central America, El Salto de Chilasco in Salama, Baja Verapaz comes down from a branch of the Sierra de Las Minas to form a cascade of about 130 meters high. This affluent is 1880 meters above sea level and 146 kilometers away from Guatemala City. El Salto de Chilasco means "Dark Mountains" in Poqomchi’ language. This cascade is formed by various streams of clear water running in the mountains. Access to this place is hard in the last three kilometers because of the inclination of the terrain. It can only be reached on foot or by horse. This cascade is only one of the attractives of this area. Ecologists have the opportunity of enjoying the diversity of flora and fauna of the place. There are other waterfalls along the way such as Lomo del Macho and Rincon del Paraiso. It is also possible to arrange trips that include living with the locals so that you can get to know their costums, crafts and other actitivies. Here is a link to this place.
