There, trails lead off through forested valleys to breathtaking viewpoints where you can enjoy wonderful panoramic vistas. Travel further afield and you can snorkel through flooded caverns, swim under thunderous rapids or admire the magical atmosphere of the Poco Encantado cave where the afternoon sun turns the water an eerie electric blue.
