The hike to the falls was relatively easy. We had to cross a shallow part of a river and the clay ground was slippery at times. We saw a snake and heard howler monkeys.

The last 900 m to the falls was tough and exhilarating. Down and back up on a narrow trail took an hour. Rain started about 20 minutes in and became a heavy rain including thunder by the time I reached the falls.

Rain disappeared for a short time for the walk back. The wet clay stuck to my shoes and the path, especially the downhills, became a bit slippery.

I am a 58 year old woman, somewhat fit. This was the most challenging thing I’ve done since running a full marathon in 2016 (I was in better fitness then,though).

Totally worth the hike, but a warning if you have any fitness limitations!

We had such a great experience! Alexander, the coordinator, was incredibly accommodating from start to finish. He answered any questions we had and even helped us arrange transportation to and from the tour, which made everything so seamless.

The area itself is absolutely beautiful and peaceful. We started with about a 45-minute horseback ride, and the horses were very calm, well-trained, and clearly knew the trail. I never felt concerned about safety at any point. After the horseback ride, we did a moderately challenging hike to the waterfall. The guides were amazing, super friendly, patient, and always willing to help, especially during some of the more difficult parts of the hike.

Afterward, we rode the horses to a beautiful natural swimming pool where we had time to swim, relax, and enjoy the scenery. The entire staff was so kind and helpful, and everything from transportation to the actual tour went smoothly. Such a beautiful experience, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

We had a great time on our horseback riding tour! Dennis was a great guide. He was patient with us on the walking portion of our hike to/from the waterfall (which is a moderate to hard difficulty) and provided us ample time at the pool for swimming. I would recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys horses regardless of previous riding experience.

Alex and Diego were very friendly and really good guides!
One kid from the group was a bit scared so they immediately found a solution to help her and put her at ease.

Diego is very knowledgeable about the plants and the animals and was an amazing guide, doing a great job explaining the various natural elements we encountered!

The horses were very gentle and calm, the ride was very nice and the views were amazing!
Trail requires a bit of physical condition, but it's not too challenging. The cool water of the natural pool was amazing after the trail!

We had a great time on the horseback riding tour. It was about 45 min to a very rigorous about half mile hike to the waterfall. We took some pics and then hiked back. It would have been nice to go in the water then, but the waterfall was too dangerous. The hike back was pretty uphill but after the hike, we got on the horses for a short ride to some relaxing pools off the waterfall where we went swimming and jumped into the water. The kids loved it. We then took the horses back to the starting place. The person organizing the trip, Alexander, was great and arranged a lunch for us in the local town. Overall, it was a great experience. Our kids were 9, 12 and 14 and they all had a wonderful time. The horses were very sweet with the kids. My daughter absolutely loved her horse, Pepe.

Los senderos muy bien marcados y tiene un mirador antes se bajar a la catarata muy lindo. Además tiene actividades en caballo y cuadraciclo para los que le gusta esa aventura.
