Do I need to be a strong swimmer?

No. The tour includes 27 pools of varying depths; you can enjoy shallow pools, wade, or sit out activities entirely. Your guide adjusts the experience to your comfort level.

Will we definitely see monkeys?

Monkeys are native to the area and commonly spotted, especially in early morning. However, wildlife sightings are never guaranteed. Your guide will take you to high-probability locations.

Is cliff-jumping mandatory?

No. Cliff-jumping is optional and typically offered at specific, safer falls. You can participate at your own pace or skip jumps entirely and enjoy swimming or wading instead.

What's included in the 5-hour tour?

Private van pickup/drop-off from your hotel, transportation to Damajagua, professional guide, and access to the waterfall pools. Lunch and drinks are typically not included; confirm with the operator.

Is this suitable for older adults or people with limited mobility?

The terrain is rocky and involves moderate hiking with scrambling. While some pools are accessible, the overall experience is best suited for those with reasonable fitness and balance. Discuss any concerns with your guide in advance.

Swimwear, water shoes or grip sandals, towel, sunscreen, bug spray, water bottle, and a waterproof bag. Avoid loose jewellery and bring only essentials—storage at the site is limited.
