Soroa Waterfall

Soroa Waterfall is a natural waterfall in Candelaria that cascades from the forested hillside and collects in a clear natural pool at its base. The water is surrounded by dense tropical vegetation and trees that create a shaded, moist environment.

The area was named after Spanish brothers who established coffee farming in the region during the 1800s. This early settlement shaped the landscape and left traces that visitors can still observe today throughout the surroundings.

The waterfall holds meaning for local communities as a place where the richness of the rainforest can be experienced directly. Residents share knowledge about the plants and forest life with those who visit, showing how the natural world around them is part of everyday life.

The site is accessible through marked trails that wind through the forest and can accommodate visitors of different fitness levels. Facilities such as changing areas and rest zones are available at the location where visitors can spend time.

The location forms part of a protected biosphere reserve and is home to many orchid varieties and bird species found only in this region. Visitors are often surprised by the variety of wildlife that exists within this relatively compact forest area.
