I’d go to Canyon Rio Sass for mountain lake views.

More about this place

Canyon Rio Sass is a beautiful secluded canyon at the heart of town Fondo. In the late afternoon, it transforms into a tranquil and majestic place. The walk takes anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours roundtrip, depending on your pace.

We recommend parking at the lake Smeralda, and walk down the canyon to the downtown Fondo. You can then go back the same way, or go back through the town.

Be advised that the Google Map location is in the center of the town, and also various websites create a general impression that Rio Sass can only be reached via a guided tour, but it's not. Just park your car and enjoy the serenity of this canyon in the afternoon.
