Difficulties of the hike
This route is more a stroll to a viewpoint than a real hike. There are no major difficulties along the way. The trail starts as a gravel path and turns into a stone staircase with 700 steps. It's important to note that this ambitious staircase project is still under development, with the ultimate goal of reaching the top of the waterfall. While the current experience is already spectacular, it is a step towards an even more grandiose future achievement.
