Incredible experience! The hike to the waterfall is not trivial and requires good shoes, especially on a rainy day, but it’s well worth it. The waterfall is so powerful that you start hearing it half a mile away, and once you see it, it’s truly awe-inspiring. If you decide to go into the swimming hole, be mindful of the current - it’s quite strong.
