Let me get some warnings out of the way first. There is a picture that someone else submitted of many waterfalls and a you see the back of a woman in the foreground— that is not a real picture — it is AI generated and not of the place at all— if you go by that picture you will be very disappointed. You need to be in decent shape because the humidity and heat combined with the walk, as well as up and down the stairs can be difficult. If you are afraid of heights, this may not be for you either because you will be on at least one high platform without railings and will need to climb down a ladder; also the water slides do not gently bring you to the water’s surface— you are dropped into the pool below and your head will go under water. If you’re are afraid of tight spaces, a couple of the water slides are narrow with rock walls to your sides. If you don’t want to get your hair wet or go under water, this is not for you; see my earlier comment. So let’s get to the review. We booked a tour to this through Viator because we wanted an easy experience of just going through one company for everything from transport, entry, and lunch and other things. The walk to the waterfalls is long and we did the first set of waterfalls; there is a lengthier set of waterfalls if you do the longer tour. We stopped multiple times with the tour for people to catch their breath and to rest. You will not only have to climb up steps, but for the last quarter of the walk to get to the slides, you will be walking down steep steps. I highly recommend closed-toe water shoes with very good traction. The steps going down will likely be wet, and while the steps are wooden, the wet wood becomes slick. Also be careful of the strips of tire that are at the edge of the steps— some of the strips are loose so if you rely on stepping on it or anchoring your foot against it, your foot can slip. To get to the first slide, you have to go down a wooden ladder that is slanted to the side. Then you get to slide down your first slide. It is super narrow so follow directions of your guide. The pool at the bottom is deep. You can’t reach the bottom, even if you are 6’3”. You will walk between pools over uneven footing. Overall it was fun and felt safe. Take a moment to look around you at the surroundings. It’s beautiful there. There’s also signs that tell you not to carve into the rocks to keep the scenery pristine. You can’t take anything with you— no backpack, hats, etc. they don’t recommend taking your phone unless it is in a waterproof container. You can hire someone to follow you and take pics but it is highly dependent on your photographers skills and in our case it was not worth it— pics were out of focus, flash too strong, dark pics, etc.

Did 7 waterfalls during the low season and still found this to be a great and worthwhile adventure and very affordable. The photographer session was reasonable too at 45$ to follow and shoot some great shots

Excellent place to have fun and a little extreme for those who like yo feel the adrenaline a bit. Options is less or shorter route. You’ll love it
