Description
Embark on an day tour from Asuncion to Salto Cristal, a breathtaking natural wonder nestled in the heart of Paraguay.
Your journey begins with a comfortable drive of about 3.5 hours that will take you through the picturesque Paraguayan countryside, then dirt roads through fields of sugar cane, providing a glimpse of rural life.
Once we reach the Salto Cristal park, we will descending more than a hundred stone steps to the stream. We then continue along the trails, and over river rocks and branches, as we carefully walk upstream and anticipation builds for the main attraction – a magnificent 45 meter waterfall cascading from the cliffs. Walk through the shallow water to approach the base of Salto Cristal to feel the invigorating spray of the crystal-clear waters or enjoy a serene view from rocks bordering the natural pool beneath the waterfall. You can simply dip your toes in the cool waters, take a swim (lifejacket provided; seasonal), and capture amazing photographs.
