Timeline
16:34
Take a moto-taxi out of town to Caño de Piedras. The guide suggests going early enough to secure a spot and share the ride cost if you are traveling alone. Arrive in time to swim in the popular natural pool before the crowds peak.
17:54
Stay at the riverbank to watch the sunset. The water is calm and the western view is clear. This is the peak moment for photos and soaking in the evening atmosphere with the townsfolk.
18:34
Head back into town on the way back from the river. The guide notes you can see the sunset on the ride back if you timed it right, but by now it is fully dark. Find a local spot for dinner and a drink to end the evening.
Local tip
If you are traveling alone, try to find other people to share the moto-taxi and save money.
Check before you go
- The anchor description mentions combining this with seeing the sunset on the way back, so timing your departure from the river is key.
