Thereafter, you will drive back to the hotel for lunch.

After a sumptuous meal, get ready to take a trip to the waterfall at 2 pm. You can also opt to hike for 45 minutes to visit the top of the falls. This is an experience that brings all the senses into play. Watch waves of white water tumble hypnotically through this 6-meter chasm, listen to the roar of the water, taste the spray on your face and feel the rock shake beneath your feet. It is a sheer sensory overload that you don't want to miss!
