Penitent's Waterfall

I am listing the Salto de Penitente in off the beaten path because of the road that you must travel to get there.
A few miles to the east of Mines City there is a rough gravel road that leads to Salto de Penitente (the Penitent's Walerfalls). The gravel road is 18 km long so it says but seems longer.
This fall is located over a rocky backdrop covered in wild vegetation.
When we were there it had not rained for awhile so the falls were not as large as we had expected.
There is a nice lookout platform, some little shops, and a restaurant overlooking the falls.
You can swim at the bottom of the falls, look for birds, or Rappel.
