“It's not a hike, but a walk around the falls. Really beautiful landscapes, but it's a pretty touristy spot. You can easily walk around on your own, the path is really easy to access. The boat is a great option for cooling off. Otherwise, not much to see. Meal 130dhr imposed but quality. The 40 "wild" monkeys remaining on the estate are very popular with the guides but amuse the children. Super friendly guide and pro driver Reco: Don't give anything other than peanuts to the monkeys. They're dying... and stop throwing plastic packaging in nature! Thanks for our planet Earth”
