Beautiful, but make sure you have the proper equipment! - It was great! The lady there spoke a little English, but enough to make you understand where you were going and what you were doing. The host was nice enough to have bug spray on hand, but I'd recommend bringing your own; the bugs are thick out there! Also, make sure to bring proper footwear. Avoid wearing sandals, thongs, or tennis shoes; instead, bring footwear with traction, such as hiking boots, especially if it has recently rained. There are lots of steps and handrails, but you still want to wear proper footwear! Additionally, if you're somewhat disabled, have back issues, and struggle to stretch your legs out to take big steps, this will be a challenge for you unless you have someone helping you the entire way, which will significantly slow down the hike. It was beautiful, and my wife and I would have liked to have stayed longer and finished it, but she had hurt her back, and we both didn't have proper footwear. We saw cool spiders, a monkey, a sloth, scat from various animals (the type unknown), birds, and waterfalls, among other things. It was totally worth the drive up to the mountains and the crazy, tight, and windy drive down into the parking area to start the adventure.
