Walk up to the view point was a little arduous on my knees (due to tendonitis) but WORTH THE PAIN! It's just fantastic. Swimming in the turquoise water afterwards to cool down is a joy, and you can even get a free fish-pedi from the small fish there too. Wonderful day out with caves first and tubing the river after.... More

We loved the beautiful, turquoise pools and the large trees on the sides of the river. I suspect one day it won't be possible but you can still swim in the pools now.

Beautiful and worth the trip. Make sure you go when it's warm enough to swim in the pools, or give yourself a few days in the area to make sure you can truly experience the pools.

Amazing water pools for an awesome swimming experience. There is also tiny fish to nibble your skin if you let them. You don't need a guided tour either, go yourself and stay longer!

It is really amazing! The view point is a good place for pictures, and all the pools by the river are perfect to spend a whole day. The water is clean and warm, there is a series of pools and it is possible to walk, slide or jump from one to another. There are really deep places so it's safe... More

This place is so beautiful. It is quite a hike up to the look out..... but more than worth it. After a long walk back down it was wonderful to jump into the pools to cool off and relax.

This was the highlight of my ten day trip around Guatemala. The hike to the mirador is incredible and swimming through the emerald pools and hiking up little waterfalls just made it even better. To top it off, the locals make small batches of chocolate that they sell for about 50 cents each so I had a delicious sustainable snack... More

Super beautiful spot. Climb up to the view first, then go for a swim to wash off the sweat :) Don't miss the trail below the pools along the river for a bit. Worth checking out where the river comes out of the caves and jump off the falls!

It´s a beautyful place to go. Climing up to El Mirador is realy a hard work but it´s worth it. It´s a nice reward afterwords to jump into the refreshing cristal-clear blue pools.
