Salto Curet Waterfall, Natural waterfall in Maricao, Puerto Rico
The cascade drops approximately 40 feet with additional falls above, creating a total descent of 100 feet through orange clay terrain.
The waterfall system has shaped the geological features of Maricao forest over thousands of years, carving paths through the mountain landscape.
Local residents maintain connections to the falls as a natural monument, incorporating its presence into regional outdoor activities and traditions.
Visitors need to follow Road 425 to its end, then walk to the river and navigate upstream while staying alert for weather changes.
The distinctive orange hue of the water comes from the clay soil composition of the surrounding mountain terrain.
