This waterfall is beautifully surrounded by dense jungle trees and plants.
How to get there: take a bus from San Gil. It's bus 4 to Charala, it costs 7000 per person and takes about 45 minutes to get there. They drop you off at the entrance
The park: you have a restaurant, toilets, etc. The entrance fee is 7000.
The hike: is 1 km, easy walk, sometimes it goes somewhat uphill, but in 15 - 20 minutes you get to the waterfall. Path is good and well displayed.

I recently studied Spanish there for 10 days(One o one class) and I loved it! The teachers are very professional and responsible! (If you ever studied Spanish in South America, you might know there are quite many irresponsible and unpunctual teachers...)
Most of all, they observe students during the class and prepare proper material the next class so that the student can improve their weaknesses!!
Also the principal of the academy(and all of his lovely family members too!) is so accommodating and helpful! They provided us free cooking class and showed around nearby towns. Oh, and I really liked the private coffee farm tour as well!!
Well.. it sounds so good to be true, huh? So if I have to tell you one disadvantage of this place.. it is def not a place to party. It is a lovely small town but there not many things to do... So if you are a person who wants to study and party at the same time, it may not be the best option. Though if you are serious about learning Spanish, I highly reccommend this Spanish school!!
* If you wanna learn salsa or any other dances, you can easily find a tutor. The sxhool will help you find a good tutor! I took a salsa class while inwas there and it was really fun and it didn't even cost much! ;)

En El Socorro es una delicia caminar sus callecitas y disfrutar de este hermoso Monumento Nacional pero hay atractivos muy especiales y que en ocasiones no son tan protagonistas en el momento actual pero que lo fueron en su justo momento, la revolución de los comuneros y es el Caso de la Iglesia de Inmaculada Concepción, fue el primer tempo erigido en El Socorro, en su estilo barroco colonial anexo al Cementerio central y sirvió como Panteón de los próceres de la gestas independentista en ella esta Antonia Santos, hasta 1886 y otros patriotas no menos importante. Fue azotada por un incendio por lo que en 1998 fue restaurada sus altos ventanales con su portones de cedros y su piedra caliza. Cerca al parque de visita obligada. AEMR
