“Very beautiful - Great view of one of the waterfalls. We went to the coffee plantation and received an explanation of how coffee is made. Grinded coffee beans and so on and finally drank coffee. We did not see the third waterfall because it suddenly started to rain very hard, so we decided to go back to our lodge.” - Reviewed at 2024-03-17
