The name cascade is translated as "blue water".

Especially the rich color falls becomes spring, when the rainy season ends. From may to September the abundant rains, and the water is turbid and acquires a yellow tint.

Agua Azul is a series of several waterfalls flowing over one kilometer. The highest of the waterfalls – 6 meters. The biggest and most beautiful waterfalls you will see almost at the entrance to the Park. About there are some viewing platforms.

Virtually each of the waterfalls has a small pool where you can swim. Swimming is the only one place – the base of the cascade, due to the fact that here too a strong current. Recently there was built a pool for bathing tourists "Agua Clara", which translates as "pure water". Parallel to the waterway in the forest there is a wooden trail with stairs that you can walk.
