Parque Imposible is a National Park of incredible beauty about 2 hours west of the Capital, San Salvador. I went with friends from my Spanish Language School for a long hard hike down wet slippery Jungle slopes to an awesome Cascada (waterfall). The Park has over 8,000 acres of pristine and lush forests full of very challenging hikes. It was named "Imposible" because it once had a terrifying gorge where people and animals fell to their death while crossing it to carry their coffee crops to market in the south. We had 3 guides who took us on the challenging hike about 2 hours down to the waterfall and then 2 hours back up again. Friends Margarita and Neal went with our guide Manolo, and another guide on the most challenging hike, and descent to the lower waterfall where they high dived into the water. They were awesome!

| VIEW FROM TACUBA |
There are over 400 Tree Types, many kinds of Flora and Fauna, over 400 Bird species as well as Butterflies and many Mammals found no where else in El Salvador. The waterfalls range from about 6 feet to 39 feet tall. There are also 8 rivers in the Park.
We based ourselves in the town of Tacuba which has beautiful vistas of the mountains and volcanoes. I want to thank my friend Neal for the use of his awesome photos!
