Once we reach our first stop which is the start of the waterfall trail, we'll start hiking for about 3 hours stopping and enjoying each one of the falls. The trail is mildly difficult but we'll have amazing views of the valley once we reach the top of the mountain. Each one of the waterfalls is beautiful in its own way and since this area is not very well known, we'll be able to enjoy them by ourselves, making this the perfect adventure for people who want to connect with the jungle, nature, and themselves.

Amazing nature experience
This was a totally amazing experience. Our guide Marco picked us up from our apartment and drove us to where the hike started. The walking tour took us through reclaimed forest area. It used to be livestock, but some 30 years ago it was replanted with local plants such as wagya(sp), mahogny, bananas, cocoa and numerous other trees and fruit trees. And cameras has captured animals such as pumas, mountain lions and howling monkeys on picture. We did not see any, except for some friendly dogs that kept us company, and lets not forget the friendly boar! The scenery was truly amazing, the path was of moderate difficulty. We saw numerous fruit and other trees. Reaching the top of the mountain was a rewarding experience, seeing the roof of the trees. Amazing! After the trek, we went back and viewed the botanical garden, numerous plants and herbs as well as an indigenous settlement. Some roads were 1000 years old. About our guide. Marco is super friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the region, the plants and animals. He spoke both english and spanish. The tour was great, but, with the background from Marco, he took the tour to the next level. A truly epic adventure for me and my family.

Paso del Mango Five Waterfalls: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santa Marta.
How much does Paso del Mango Five Waterfalls cost?
+
Prices start at $150 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Santa Marta usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Paso del Mango Five Waterfalls take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Santa Marta is not rushed.
Is Paso del Mango Five Waterfalls worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Santa Marta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Paso del Mango Five Waterfalls?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Paso del Mango Five Waterfalls suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Paso del Mango Five Waterfalls?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Santa Marta can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Santa Marta and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Paso del Mango Five Waterfalls start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Santa Marta within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Santa Marta?
+
On Outty we rank every Santa Marta experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hike for 4 days to the Lost City, Santa Marta, 4-Day Lost City Small-Group Tour in Santa Marta, 4-Day Walking Tour to Lost City of Sierra Nevada. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Santa Marta?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Santa Marta?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Paso del Mango Five Waterfalls?
+
Included: Bottled water; Lunch; In-vehicle air conditioning; Surcharges on fuel; and Tea and coffee. Not included: Alcoholic beverages; Gratuities; and Carbonated beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Paso del Mango Five Waterfalls include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 213 listed pickup locations in and around Santa Marta. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Paso del Mango Five Waterfalls offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Paso del Mango Five Waterfalls?
+
