More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the shaded track and the jungle exhales—humid, green, and full of sound. Water thunders below in stepped tiers; sunlight slices through high canopy and beads on pools where locals and visitors take turns cooling off. Small trails of bamboo brush the path as you climb toward a viewpoint that opens to a broad valley and the ribbon of river that feeds the falls.
