Instructions & Recommendations

In July & August there are 3 daily sessions to manage frequentation: 09h00-13h00, 13h00-16h00, 16h00 -20h00. Bring you swimming attire, a towel and some drinking water.

Meta review

Mixed review for these waterfalls because although the area is scenic and it is an enjoyable setting for a dip in (very) cool water, it does get busy - by the bus loads! This has a domino effect on the lack of parking spaces and predatory pricing for it (unless you are a client in one of the restaurants). Tip: go very early before it gets busy.

Environmental & Social

No carbon footprint but clearly over-commercialized which triggers mercantile behaviours.

Conclusion

We are a little mixed here because a low-key natural feature has essentially been transformed into a commercial one that loses most of its charm due to overcrowding in the summer. Go in the off-season!

Key positive

Scenic

Key negative

Too crowded in season

Parking is messy and/or expensive

Suitability

Not accessible and best enjoyed by those who can swim
