The Cascada de la Concepción in Aculco is located on the Aculco-Amealco highway, 10 kilometers from the municipal capital. In a rocky landscape, a beautiful waterfall stands out among a ravine. It is fed by the waters of the Ñado dam and runs over a road of basaltic columns. In summer, the flow makes the fall something truly impressive, reaching more than 25 meters in height. The basalt walls make La Concepción the perfect place for rappelling and camping.
