Guidelines

Wear Suitable Footwear: The path to the waterfall can be muddy, rocky, and slippery, especially after rain. Wear non-slip hiking shoes or sandals to avoid injuries. Avoid Visiting During Heavy Rain: During or after heavy rain, the water flow becomes dangerously strong, and flash floods may occur. Always check weather conditions before planning your visit. Do Not Swim Near the Base: While the water looks inviting, the current near the base of the waterfall is very strong and unpredictable. It can pull swimmers under. Observe from a safe distance.
