Amazing place. 3 waterfalls, one is strong, 1 is tall, 1 is elegant. Parking is not far away - look for the spot called 'Al Born' nearby.

Una ruta muy bonita, con cascadas en el camino. Ninguna dificultad en llegar, sólo que has de ir pronto, porque se llena de gente. Al llenarse de gente, es difícil caminar porque el sendero es muy estrecho.
