Guillermo was a great guide! We met at. The bus stop which we were familiar with… double check your location on the map some addresses look exactly the same but are not ( we learned that our first day here)
The ride was not too hot or crowded. We got off on the side of the road where the trail started and started hiking. There were 2 smaller pool on the way to swim in before you got to the larger fall
And pool. It was about 1.15 mile hike to the end one way. There are easy paths but also lots of boulders to climb and several water crossings. So a water tennis shoe with a good sole is the best. When we got to the fall we were able to swim in the pool, climb into the cave behind the falls and Even use a snorkel mask to dive to the bottom and see some of the fish in the pool!
Guillermo told us about a lot of the unusual plant life there as it is so different from home and we enjoyed learning about it. This is a great option for a half day hike that is much less touristy in my opinion. Getting to experience something more local and synthetic was amazing.
