Nice waterfall. The path towards it is pretty steep, but it has steel cables installed. Don't drink from the water, as the stream is dirty - there are people, cattle and some housing on the stream that forms it.

Nice waterfall. The path towards it is pretty steep, but there are iron chains to help tourists. Don't drink water from the waterfall! Upstream, a stream runs through the path, and cattle drink from it.
