the travel in is relatively short, just a lot of stairs! I just don't know if I liked paying 10$ for it but overall it was beautiful!

This is the waterfall you imagine when you see commercials for Latin America travel. Don't miss the opportunity to get in the pool and swim around, the current from the flowing water is a testament to the power of this wonder of nature.

Was amazing. The walk back up was pretty strenuous. I was glad we were in relatively good shape.

We had an amazing time seeing this waterfall but it is not complete unless you go into the cool water. This will refresh you for your walk up. Yes it is worth it just pace yourself.
