Damp leaf litter mutes your steps as the rainforest exhales around you — a chorus of frogs and high-canopy birds punctuates the quiet while a guide's voice invites you to move with intention. This is not a race; the route traces a gentle ascent through variegated green, crossing roots and rock where the forest itself seems to press you toward the waterfall's chill pool.
