Guidelines

Wear Non-Slip Footwear: The rocks can be very slippery, especially when wet. Wear grip-friendly water shoes or sandals to avoid accidents. Avoid Sliding During Rain or High Flow: Do not attempt sliding when water levels are high or during rain—it increases the risk of injuries or being swept away. Keep an Eye on Children: This natural site is not supervised, so parents must closely monitor children at all times, especially near water and rocks.
