This is a steep trail that takes you through the jungle downstream below La Coco Falls to Rio Mameyes. The lower half of the trail is comparatively flat as you walk along the water to the pools at the confluence with Rio de la Mina. This is a little more difficult than other trails in the park but well worth the effort.
