Route Details: On this hike, we trek along Quebradas la Miel and El Silencio in Envigado, passing by three beautiful waterfalls of about 45m, 25m, and 90m (Chorro de las Campanas, Salto del Angel, and Cascada El Silencio). There will be time to rest and swim (for those who don’t mind the cold!) at each waterfall.
