Belles chutes d eau assez spectaculaires . Pour les personnes ayant des difficultés à marcher il est préférable de se garer sur le parking haut juste en dessous de l hôtel. A noter qu il y a des toilettes au niveau des 2 parkings . Pour les vans et les camping cars il y a possibilité de dormir sur place en tous cas ce n est pas interdit et le parking haut est très calme du moins en cette saison. Vraiment cela mérite le détour !;

Even in the rain, the waterfall's powerful spray creates a mist that fills the entire mountainside. Spectacular!
