The Atehuecillas Waterfall (Spanish: Caída de agua de Atehuecillas), formed by the El Molino River, is located about 4 km (2.50 mi) from Colonia El Espino, in the Ahuachapán Department, western El Salvador, near the border with Guatemala. The water falls from a height of 65 m (213 ft). Despite its difficult access, in the middle of the jungle, it is an important tourist attraction in the region.
