Wear water shoes, sandals, or old trainers you don't mind getting wet. Bring a dry bag for phones and valuables. Quick-dry clothing is recommended as you'll be crossing streams and wading to reach the waterfall.

Is this tour suitable for families with children?

The 10-hour duration and moderate trekking make this best suited for children aged 10+. Younger children may find the walking distance and terrain challenging. Check with the operator about your specific group's needs.

Tours are limited to a maximum of 10 travellers, ensuring a more personalized experience and reduced environmental impact on these natural sites.

Is the hidden waterfall accessible year-round?

The waterfall is most reliably accessible during and after the dry season (May–September). Heavy rains in the wet season (October–April) can make access unsafe or impossible. Check conditions with your operator before booking.

our guide Mateo was brilliant and a waterfall about halfway up was the highlight, and miles ahead of a similar hike we tried in Lisbon.

our guide Hana really knew their stuff and the last scramble to the summit was the highlight. Did it on our first morning so it wasnt too busy. Good as a half-day option, and a 3 hour climb, and a 3 hour climb. Would book again no question.
