The trek through the jungle lasts about an hour and 30 minutes, with reviewers noting the trail is manageable for most fitness levels, even rocky in parts. The highlight is reaching the serene waterfall, where the clear water flows into a calm pool perfect for a quick dip or just relaxing with the surrounding greenery.
One reviewer noted, “The trek is beautiful, and it’s a peaceful escape from the busy tourist spots,” though they added that water levels can be lower during the dry season. Even if the waterfall isn’t flowing as strongly, the lush surroundings and quiet ambiance make the hike worthwhile.
