Wear grippy hiking shoes
Trails combine packed dirt, sawdust and occasional slick rocks—closed-toe shoes with good traction prevent slips at the waterfall and on bridges.
Bring insect repellent and a lightweight long sleeve
Riverbanks and shaded trails have mosquitoes and biting flies, especially in the wet season; treat clothing or cover up for comfort.
Use a dry bag for electronics
The floating portion is calm but splash-prone; protect phones and cameras from mist and accidental dips.
Time for wildlife: mornings or late afternoon
Bird and sloth activity peaks around dawn and dusk—plan your visit to match if animal sightings are a priority.
Sturdy hiking shoes
Trails and waterfall approaches are uneven and can be slippery.
Light rain shell

summer
Dry bag or waterproof phone case
