Palo Maria waterfall in Puerto Vallarta is a hidden gem nestled in the lush jungle mountains. Accessible via a short 45 minute hike, this waterfall offers a refreshing swimming spot to cool off from the city heat. During the dry season, it's more of a swimming hole than a cascading waterfall, but still a great place to hang out with friends and take a dip. For those feeling adventurous, cliff jumping into the pool below is an option if you climb from above. Just remember to pack some snacks, water, and sunscreen for a fun day out in nature!
