Guidelines

Avoid Swimming in Deep or Strong Currents : The water can be unpredictable and dangerous, especially during rainy seasons — swimming is risky. Be Cautious on Wet Rocks : Rocks near the falls are extremely slippery — avoid climbing or standing too close to the edge. Wear Proper Footwear : The path to the falls can be slippery and uneven, so wear sturdy shoes with good grip.
