Once we reach our first stop which is the start of the waterfall trail, we'll start hiking for about 3 hours stopping and enjoying each one of the falls. The trail is mildly difficult but we'll have amazing views of the valley once we reach the top of the mountain. Each one of the waterfalls is beautiful in its own way and since this area is not very well known, we'll be able to enjoy them by ourselves, making this the perfect adventure for people who want to connect with the jungle, nature, and themselves.
