How to get to the Trail to see the Charco and Cascada la Sirena

To reach the impressive waterfall and the beautiful La Sirena pool by car or motorcycle, we'll give you precise directions. The first thing you need to do is take the charming road to the sea, leaving Cali to the west. It will take you through the majestic mountain range until you reach kilometer 18. Once there, you'll find the entrance to the charming village of Borrero Ayerbe, also known as kilometer 30. From there, continue until you reach the beautiful Queremal. From Queremal, you'll have to continue for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes on a dirt road, but in excellent condition, until you reach the magical place known as El Danubio.
