Very nice hike but slippery. The gate closes at 3pm which is a 15 min hike from the main Road. So be there in good time. The Girl working there does not allow anyone in even if they Are 3 minutes late

A great trek with beautiful views of waterfalls. Not for the faint of heart though! It’s pretty hard going through the muddy and steep paths.

This was a great hike. So beautiful and peaceful. Come early in morning before 9am, then you will have it almost to yourself. It took around 3 hours lit and back again. The trail to the last waterfall is somewhat difficult and you have to climb with ropes. But it is totally worth it.

Moderately difficult tour can be easily done with hiking boots 😊 The ground and stones can be very slippery! Beautiful waterfalls, great nature 🥰

Certainly a worthwhile destination with spectacular waterfalls in very beautiful nature!! Man pays $10 entry fee. The paths are sometimes very slippery when it has rained and some of the railings that are present should also be replaced. Two Swiss 🇨🇭 tourists with a motorhome
