点评:What an insanely beautiful place! I can't believe the terrain and flora differ so much from the bottom of the valley to the top. I did the long hike. Went counterclockwise around the valley. Started in the bottom through the farm, then the jungle seeing multiple waterfalls in the damp leaves. Approx halfway through, you come to a 3 way fork in the trail. Up to the right is an extra mile loop (we didn't do because we were worried about rain) called Hummingbird trail, that will bring you back to the same spot, and up to the left is the top of the valley and the trees. The next mile of the trail is straight up until you get to a flower-y farm. I think going the other way (clockwise) would have been easier). Once we got to the top where the tall palms were, we ate a small lunch we had packed. Then made our way down through the more touristy/accessible part of the park. By that time it was fairly crowded because of the time of day.
If I hiked this again, I would hike clockwise. My suggestion is to get there RIGHT when the park opens. We got there at 9:15, and that was even a little late in my opinion. Bring sunscreen, hat, water, snacks, and rain jacket. The weather fluctuates a lot. Hike takes about 4-5 hours.
Would definitely recommend!

如果我再徒步一次,我会顺时针徒步。我的建议是在公园开放时立即到达那里。我们9点15分到达那里,在我看来甚至有点晚了。带上防晒霜、帽子、水、零食和雨衣。天气变化很大。徒步大约需要4-5小时。
肯定会推荐!
