It is the perfect destination for those looking to combine nature exploration with local culture. The access to the waterfall is mainly done by ATV, traversing rural and challenging roads that allow visitors to discover breathtaking landscapes while enjoying an adrenaline-filled ride.

The Experience: Getting to the waterfall can be tricky for those not accustomed to rural terrain, so a 4x4 vehicle is highly recommended, especially for the last few kilometers of the journey. The steep terrain and some difficult sections require caution, but once you arrive, the reward is breathtaking. Visitors can enjoy a tour of the riverbed, a natural space perfect for those seeking both adventure and tranquility. Additionally, the proximity to the waterfall allows travelers to experience the powerful flow of water and the unique sensation of standing beneath the cascading falls.

The friendliness of the guides and operators has also been widely praised. Many emphasize that while the access is challenging, the effort is truly worth it for the beauty of the site and the excellent service.

A Local Touch: One of the most talked-about experiences is the opportunity to try fresh sugar cane juice. While the press isn’t always operational, those who have had the chance to enjoy it highly recommend it as a must-try. This local beverage adds a special touch to the visit, allowing travelers to learn more about the region’s agricultural traditions.

Visitor Tips:

• 4x4 Vehicle: Due to the challenging access, it’s advisable to use an ATV or 4x4 vehicle for a comfortable trip to the waterfall.
