Salto El Sapo lies on the far side of the Canaima Lagoon, a 20-minute boat ride from the village beach. It is smaller in volume than Salto Hacha but more dramatic to visit: the trail leads you in behind the curtain of water, around a long ledge cut into the cliff, and out the other side. In the wet season the spray inside the cave is so heavy that walking through feels like swimming.
A typical excursion combines El Sapo with the smaller nearby Salto Sapito on the same trail. It is the most-bought half-day add-on for travellers who have a spare morning after Angel Falls and want one more swim before flying out. Bring shoes you don't mind wearing wet; the rocks underfoot are slick.
