A better description for Caduano, the Water Park Town: Caduano is south of Miraflores maybe 10 miles or so on the west side of Hwy 1, but it's off the road a bit and not visible. There's a bus stop right there on the north side of the big arroyo where they mine gravel and just before you go up a hill. Drive into town till you reach a "t" and turn right...the water park is on your right and easy to spot.
