The setting for El Churro is magnificent. Surrounded by jungle, it falls majestically into a small pool of water, continuing on as brooks. As in most places that cater to visitors, the paths to and from the waterfall are one way. The walk from the parking to the base of the waterfall is not very steep, but it is a narrow passage through a nature trail. I did see a couple of seniors making their way up to the waterfall. However, on the way back (the one way path) is more steep and challenging. I personally felt that the visiting seniors should be able to take the same way back, just because the other path may be too strenuous for them. That aside, the waterfall is beautiful, we visited in late November, and the water was very cold, but we were told that many people swim or wade in the pool underneath the rushing water when the weather is nice. As foreigners, we had to pay $3 admission fee. We enjoyed our hike through the woods.

Both the upper and lower falls are spectacular. For the lower falls (about a 5 minute walk from where you pay the $1.50 entrance fee), I definitely recommend NOT going on a weekend. There wad rarely a moment when I was able to enjoy looking at the falls without people striking poses for photos. The upper falls is an extremely steep walk (and I hike a lot), and the road/trail is mostly thick dust, so it's not an easy walk. But it's not that long, so it's ok. Beautiful falls and scenery!
