Historia:
Historia del Salto Collazo: había una persona de apellido Collazo que venía a pié desde Lares hacia San Sebastián, al llegar cerca de la cascada se encontró con un cerdo salvaje al cual se enfrentó. El cerdo lo atacó y Collazo comenzó a correr y al llegar a la cascada brinca hacia la rama de un árbol, para que el cerdo no lo atacara, con tan mala suerte que la rama que lo aguantaba no resistió su peso y cayó al vacío muriendo en el acto. De ese día en adelante al lugar se le conoció como el lugar donde Collazo dio el salto.
