2/5 - Disappointing

I think going $18 pp is a bit steep and if you don't get to swim it's even more disappointing. We decided not to waste money here. Perhaps to see a waterfall Mistico is a better choice. Perhaps spend the cash on a hot springs resort entrance and enjoy the view of the volcano while taking a dip in the hot pools

Water is very cold so be prepared for that also best to have water shoes for the walk into the waterfall.

This waterfall is breathtaking, but it is impossible for anyone with limited mobility. It is a very steep climb down and then back up about 5-600. Very strenuous, not many senior citizens took the walk. Rocks at the base of the waterfall are incredibly slippery and not easy to navigate, even with a teenager. But soooo worth it if you can endure some physicality. Restaurant at the top of the stairs serves a fantastic lunch menu.
