More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the air‑conditioned vehicle into warm, humid air; the citrus scent of garden foliage and the distant roar of falling water pull you down a shaded path. A short tractor-and-jitney ride drops you at the top of a compact waterfall system where seven cascades thread through pools cut from volcanic and limestone bedrock.
