Magnificent site and easy to access. The water is very clear, transparent. We were alone and were able to enjoy it.

Beautiful but lots of steps. About 4 flights of concrete type steps then goes into slippery stone steps. Worth the hike.

What an experience! A walk down about 70 steps is worth it to see the beautiful falls.
