    Best tour guide ever !!

    Fernando was so kind, considerate, and knowledgeable! I participated in this tour with two friends today and he was quick to reach out before the tour and respond about pick up time. He was so sweet in being more than accommodating to let us stop for food on the way to the tour and even waiting for us to eat at a restaurant after the tour! He also was very kind during the hike in making sure I was okay. He exceeded all expectations 🥹

    Response from the operator: Hello Mandy, thank you very much for taking this tour!! I hope you 3 have good memories about this day and the best part is that we all returned safe and sound! It was a pleasure to meet you! Merry Christmas and keep enjoying life!!

    Challenging descending to the mesmerizing Tamanique’s waterfalls

    After the challenging and tough descending trial, you will encounter Tamnique’s waterfalls which are incredibly beautiful. You can even take a dip into the water, which is extremely cold but so refreshing. Fernando guided all of us with patience and kindness.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your valuable recommendations!! It was great to be part of your team!!

    Glorious Tour!

    This experience was supreme! We thoroughly enjoyed our tour guide Joshua. He was informative, attentive and knew when to just let us enjoy the moment. We weren't able to go up into the mountains due to the rainy season but we spent a great time at St Teresa Hot Springs it was glorious. Massage the food just the whole vibe in the music was so relaxing. Do the mud bath your skin will feel like butter!!! We definitely want to come back.

    Amazing waterfalls with wonderful local guides!

    Fernando was an amazing guide! We got out early in the morning to start our journey to Tamanique and were the first ones to the falls. The hike was beautiful and lead by both Fernando and a local from the city. Cliff jumping was a lot of fun and was not scary at all as there are different levels to jump from. There were 4 different falls to see and they were all magnificent! This is definitely an excursion I would recommend to anyone looking to have a memorable trip.

    Response from the operator: Hello Tiana, thanks so much for this kind comment! I also enjoyed the activity a lot! Thanks for waking up early hehe, its much better to go there before the crowds. I really thank you for hiring me and I hope that this trip with your family and a couple of locals stays in your memory as a special moment in your life . Thanks again, blessings and good luck! P.S. Today I ate the avocado the small kid gave us and it was delicious :) take care!

    Tamanique Waterfalls , Cliffjumping, Rockclimbing, Hiking and Swimming: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Salvador.

    How much does Tamanique Waterfalls , Cliffjumping, Rockclimbing, Hiking and Swimming cost?

    +

    Prices start at $93 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in San Salvador usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Tamanique Waterfalls , Cliffjumping, Rockclimbing, Hiking and Swimming take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 San Salvador is not rushed.

    Is Tamanique Waterfalls , Cliffjumping, Rockclimbing, Hiking and Swimming worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in San Salvador, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Tamanique Waterfalls , Cliffjumping, Rockclimbing, Hiking and Swimming?

    +

    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 Tamanique Waterfalls , Cliffjumping, Rockclimbing, Hiking and Swimming suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Tamanique Waterfalls , Cliffjumping, Rockclimbing, Hiking and Swimming?

    +

    Around 2 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 San Salvador 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 San Salvador and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Tamanique Waterfalls , Cliffjumping, Rockclimbing, Hiking and Swimming 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 San Salvador 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 San Salvador?

    +

    On Outty we rank every San Salvador experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Fun Walking Tour of San Salvador's Historic Center, Santa Ana Volcano Early Morning Hike, San Salvador Tour: Devil’s Door, Volcano, Slide & Historic Center. 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 San Salvador?

    +

    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 San Salvador?

    +

    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 Tamanique Waterfalls , Cliffjumping, Rockclimbing, Hiking and Swimming?

    Included: National Park fees; Local Tamanique Waterfalls Spanish Speaking guide; Hotel pickup; and Warning, there is an extremely intense uphill one hour hike!. Not included: Food and drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
