Our group loved this hike! The area is absolutely beautiful, the waterfall breathtaking and views from the abandoned city incredible. Our guide Diogo was great on this hike and all the day trips we did with him! It's obvious he loves what he does. He was not only knowledgeable about the history of the area but the local flora and funa as well. I definitely recommend this hike and Diogo as a guide!
