Hire a local guide ($10-15). Not mandatory but the trail has unmarked forks.
Pack snacks and plenty of water. No vendors on the trail or at falls.
Bring water shoes. River crossings have slippery rocks.

A Real Parent's Story
The swim at the bottom was worth every muddy step
“My 7-year-old complained 15 min into the hike. Then we saw the falls. He stripped off and ran in. Smiled the whole hour.”

The trail is muddy and humid. But the local guide kept my son entertained — pointed out butterflies, edible plants. When we reached the falls, it was stunning. Two tiers dropping into a deep green pool. My son forgot every complaint.
