Swimming

Ah The falls!!!

The adventure begins

I'm sharing my own experience, the 15-20 minute nature walk to the fall was amazing. With lush vegetation on both sides, a beautiful shade of green due to the afternoon light, and the sound of the rushing river at certain parts of the route, the walk was a tranquil experience. The path to the waterfall is easy and is suited for all ages, but after sliding in mud along the way I would suggest proper shoes especially in the rainy season (not flip flops like me) to make it even easier.

Ah the falls!

The water tumbled down loudly over a series of three small cliffs into pools on each level, the third one being the largest. There were a few people enjoying the waterfall at this level with the company of a guide. Our crew rested our bags down and decided to climb up to the other levels. Camera in hand, I held on to the muddy ropes that were tied to the trees and pulled myself up wondering why I chose to not put on my sneakers that lay enjoying the dryness of the car back at the parking lot. 

This part of the walk becomes a hike and may not be suitable for everyone, but is a lot of fun to explore. The second level was a small plateau with a pool for swimming and a beautiful view when looking down. By this time we were in explorer mode and with a quick glance up at the sky to make sure the rain was not about to come down, we started the ascent to the top level. 

Here the water force was the hardest and we were getting drenched in the spray. Luckily there is a large rock to serve as protection for those who want to see but not get soaked, and there is another pool for swimming.
