Description
Added by Josiah Roe
A desert oasis of relative solitude tucked away at the base of the Sierra Laguna mountains, miles away from the tourists and chaos of Cabo San Luca and La Paz, with gorgeous canyon views and a 25' foot jump into a seemingly bottomless pool.
Cascada Sol De Mayo can be found just beyond the village of Santiago off Highway 1, the main road between La Paz and San Jose Del Cabo. After turning off Highway 1 towards Santiago, simply follow the signs for the "Waterfalls", Cascada Sol De Mayo, and/or Ranchero Ecologico Sol De Mayo.
Eventually the road turns to dirt and dead-ends at the Ranchero, which has bathrooms and a small, sometimes-open restaurant.
Follow the well-marked trail past the restaurant about .5 miles, over the nearest ridgeline and down into the canyon.
Often times the Ranchero will ask for a donation of about $5 USD for help in maintaining the facilities.

Cascada Sol de Mayo Waterfall Reviews
Such a beautiful area, not much of a hike but the waterfall is gorgeous! It does cost about 5$ per person and they have a xolo guide dog which is cool! If you head down the river it leads to a second, much smaller cascade but still very nice. I went earlier in the day and we had it to ourselves almost the whole time too!
5.0
the drive was beautiful, the hospitality was great, the hike was beautiful as well and the water fall was stunning. We played there for hours, tuning and sliding down the fall, we encountered many many frogs on our hike back up

I was skeptical about this side adventure, but am very pleased we went! The dirt road took a while but once you pull up to the ranch it will all be worth it. Very very quick "hike" to the pool. The owner has Mexican hairless dogs that are very unique and friendly! We saw some water snakes but they minded there own in the grassy sides of the pool, just be mindful. Worth it, go if you can!
