    Situation et moyens d'accès

    Cascadas de la Igualdad is situated near Nebaj, in the Western Highlands of Guatemala. The waterfalls are nestled within a lush, mountainous landscape, accessible via rural paths. From Nebaj, visitors can reach the site by:

    • Private vehicle: A 4x4 is recommended due to uneven terrain. Parking is available near the trailhead.
    • Local transport: Shared pick-up trucks (camionetas) or tuk-tuks from Nebaj may drop visitors at the nearest village, followed by a moderate hike (approximately 30-45 minutes).
    • Guided tours: Some local operators in Nebaj offer guided hikes, which include transportation and cultural insights.

    Heures d'ouverture et billets

    The waterfalls are accessible year-round during daylight hours. There is no formal entrance fee, but small donations to local community initiatives are often appreciated.

    Meilleur moment pour visiter

    The dry season (November to April) offers clearer trails and stronger waterflow. Early mornings or weekdays are ideal to avoid crowds. The misty ambiance of the rainy season (May to October) can be dramatic but may make paths slippery.

    Durée de la visite et activités

    Plan for 2-3 hours to fully enjoy the site. Activities include:

    • Hiking through scenic trails to reach the cascades.
    • Swimming in natural pools (check water conditions locally).
    • Photographing the waterfalls and surrounding flora.

    Installations

    Facilities are minimal, reflecting the site’s natural setting:

    • Basic restrooms may be available at nearby villages.
    • No cafes or gift shops—bring snacks and water.
    • Parking is informal and unpaved.

    Ce qu'il faut apporter

    • Sturdy hiking shoes with good grip.
    • Swimwear and a towel if planning to swim.
    • Reusable water bottle and light snacks.
    • Sun protection (hat, sunscreen) and rain gear (season-dependent).

    Rules & Considerations

    • Respect the natural environment: avoid littering or disturbing wildlife.
    • No formal restrictions on photography, but seek permission before photographing locals.
    • Pets are not recommended due to rugged terrain.
