Easily one of the most impressive waterfalls I've ever seen.

Superb spot. Enjoy the natural pools with gorgeous views. Take your swim wear with you. Climb is really hard but my 2.5 yo boy managed to do 95% of it on his own. It took us around 45min to get up, 30min to go down. Bring plenty of water and snacks with you. The drive was really easy mid August. Regular cars did it without any issue. Consider 2h to 2h30 from Cooinda to Gunlom.

Great camp area. Fantastic infinity pool at the top of the falls. Would have rated this 5 stars but for the climb to the top. No guide/safety ropes up a very strenuous climb.

Beautiful place with VERY BAD CORRUGATED road. We pay park fee. We pay 30 dollars for unpower site and why put up this road. Everybody complained. It is dangerous to drive. If you want to kill your car even 4 wd. Go there.
