Guidelines

Wear proper footwear: The terrain around the falls can be slippery and uneven. Sturdy shoes with good grip are essential to prevent falls or injuries. Stay on marked paths: Do not venture off trails, as the surrounding forest may have hidden drops, loose rocks, or wildlife. Supervise children closely: The area near the waterfall can be dangerous for kids due to strong currents, slippery rocks, and steep edges. Carry sufficient water and snacks: The hike to the falls may be physically demanding, and there are no food or drink facilities nearby. Leave no trace: Take all trash with you and avoid disturbing the natural environment to preserve the beauty and safety of the area.
