Very well organized tour, everything was explained. The hike itself is manageable, and one can go at their own pace. Nature and the view are beautiful, and our guide shared a lot of information about it. The waterfall is very impressive, and you can get quite close; if you choose to do that, you should think about bringing a change of clothes. I would recommend the tour to anyone who enjoys hiking.
