More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The path drops through dappled rainforest and the river calls you forward — a cool, steady voice nudging you into shallow, mineral-rich pools. Guides steady the rhythm, pointing out caverns where water threads into jacuzzis and leading you beneath four mini falls toward the bigger cascade that feeds the famous "Washing Machine" pool.

Avoid sunscreen in the river
The site is shaded and operators request no sunscreen to protect the river’s ecosystem; use a hat and rash guard instead.

Quick-dry clothing & towel
Dries fast for comfort on the transfer back to your hotel.
