BESTIAL! It is accessed from Rupit, it is well signposted, you need to wear suitable footwear because there are areas that can slip. The way there is also very beautiful (approx 30 min). After a period of rain like the one we have now is when it shows itself in its greatest splendour!

It is a very beautiful place and you have spectacular views, if you want to go you can do it walking or by car, you can do it from Rupit! You leave the car in the parking lot (it is paid) and you can go along the paved road or you go into the town and there is a path that takes you directly to the waterfall, it is a beautiful waterfall!
