Juan Diego Falls (Cascada Juan Diego)

Great place with three waterfalls to explore! The first one is quite small—perfect for kids to get a taste of the experience. The second waterfall is a great spot: not too tall, so the water pressure is gentle enough for kids, and there’s a generous swimming area. The third waterfall is more of an adventure—it’s a tough hike that definitely requires good footwear and some hand-holding, but still doable for kids (our 6-year-old made it). The waterfall there is tall and pretty, though not the best for swimming.

We visited on a weekday morning and there were already many visitors. There are three waterfalls - it's easy to get the first and second but beware that the path to the third is very muddy and slippery. We enjoyed the first waterfall because there were less people and felt more relaxing. Spent around 30-40 minutes here.

Short hike to 2 beautiful waterfalls. Getting to the first waterfall is fairly easy, maybe a 7-minute walk. Getting to the second one is a little more difficult, but nothing extreme. It's definitely worth it

So worth it to climb up to the top waterfall - we went on a very dry day but I can imagine the other would be dangerous in a storm. Such a refreshing stop after a long hike further up the mountain!

Park starting at the 9.8 mile marker. Get there before 10am if you want to ensure a spot. Easy walk up gravel/stone walkway to first level falls/pool. Muddy slippery scramble up steep path to the right of the first level falls to reach second falls/pool which was even better. Wear water shoes!! The pools have large slippery rocks and bare feet are a terrible idea. We loved this area.
