About
Quick facts: The waterfall has a drop of approximately 200 meters, creating a relaxing natural sound that envelops the surroundings. It is located on a popular route among trekkers exploring the region's mountains.
Highlights: The water flow changes intensity depending on the season. The best show is seen just after the rains when the current becomes tumultuous and shiny under the sun. Visitors can approach a wooden bridge to feel the fresh mist on their face while watching the waterfall.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable and non-slip shoes to approach the wooden bridge.
- Bring a waterproof jacket in the rainy season.
- Avoid midday for photos because the light is very harsh and creates strong shadows.
- Explore nearby trails for different panoramic views of the waterfall.
