"A great waterfall! You can't get close, but there is a good viewpoint. Other purpose built viewpoints are overgrown and useless as anything but a platform. This waterfall is reachable from starting at 'Jungle trail 8 & 9 - 9A | 9B'. It is an easy walk. We saw children doing it. It is there and back in under 1 hour.
You can extend your walk to 'Maya waterfall' on trail 9. Read reviews on 'Jungle trail 8 & 9 - 9A | 9B' before attempting."

"We took the paved route along the river . Route 9 . Unfortunately the path was not properly maintain(wasted money spent) . It can be really slippery with dead leaves when wet.. you can't assess the waterfall ,the final destination is at the dam that produces electricity"
