The drive typically takes about 2.5–3 hours each way by minivan; expect a 6–8 hour total excursion including walking and breaks.
Trails vary: main viewpoints are a short, easy walk from the village; descending to river level requires negotiating many stairs and some slippery sections but no technical skills.
Many operators include a local lunch option; check the booking details for dietary choices (vegetarian options are commonly available) and carry cash for extra purchases.
