Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Let the trees captivate you as much as the water. This isn't a single, dramatic waterfall, but rather a long stream cascading through the jungle in short sections. It's the enormous, ancient tree trunks along the banks that truly leave a lasting impression. You can walk along both sides, wade down to your desired depth, and sit in the shallows instead of swimming. It's a picnic spot, a place to splash around, a place to spend a relaxing afternoon. More romantic than adventurous, as one reviewer put it, and it's not as crowded as you might expect.

The catch is the water. During the dry months, the stream barely carries any water, so a trip to the waterfall becomes more of a pleasant walk in the woods. From September to November, however, during and shortly after the rains, it flows properly. The stones are slippery at any time of year, so you should wear non-slip shoes and not carry a child over the rocks. If you don't have any provisions with you, there is a vendor selling grilled beef.
