Some of the most famous and breathtaking waterfalls in Panama are known as the Lost Waterfalls. You can spot the Lost Waterfalls by journeying along their namesake trail, the Lost Waterfalls Trail.

At the base of the breathtaking cascades, you’ll find a mystical natural lagoon where visitors can swim and fully immerse themselves in the beauty of the falls. This waterfall is easily accessible.
