Good to know

The access roads are narrow and winding and phone maps can mislead, so ask villagers for the way or come with a local guide.
Wear non-slip shoes: the rocks are often slippery with algae.
The pool is deep below the falls, so only strong swimmers should go in; check the depth and current first, especially after rain.
Leeches are common in the wet months: tuck trousers into long socks.
Keep phones and cameras in a waterproof bag.
