点评:I had trouble finding information about this place that was reliable so we bit the bullet and paid for a taxi to take us and we'd figure it out as we went. We nailed it. Here's our tips:
- The "mandatory guide" rule just means they have guides there and you can't run in solo. It doesn't mean you have to book through a tour operator.
- It's 40 mins of hiking up a small mountain but it's only that long cuz of 15mins of stopping so out-of-shape members can catch their breath.
- Cheap watershoes are fine, don't worry about the more aggressive hiking sandels
- The strong current from the river in some spots may cause you to land on the side of your foot, or lose footing when walking over loose rocks. If you have fragile bones this could be ugly.
- Guides are hit or miss in their comfort level with English as well as pleasantry.
- Guides are VERY good at helping people up and down various climbs which is critical at keeping things moving, and keeping people safe.
- I walked up to the ticket counter and he explained only the 7 waterfalls due to low water levels. I slapped a 1,000 pesos down not knowing what it would cost. He clicked a few buttons and got me and my wife a ticket for that price. After talking to others it sounds like I got a deal.
- It takes 2hrs so if you make friends with a taxi driver when you land, ask him what he'd charge to bring you to the waterfalls, hang around for 2hrs then bring you back. Way better than packing into a bus and likely similar in price.
- We didn't bother with the buffet, photo upgrade, zipline, monkeys, or the gift shop and we still say 5 stars.
- Tip your guides!
翻译:我很难找到关于这个地方的可靠信息,所以我们咬紧牙关,付了出租车费,边走边想办法。我们成功了。以下是我们的提示:
- “强制导游”规则只是意味着他们那里有导游,你不能单独行动。这并不意味着你必须通过旅行社预订。
- 爬一座小山需要 40 分钟,但只有 15 分钟的停留时间,以便身体不适的成员可以喘口气。
- 便宜的水鞋很好,不用担心更激进的徒步凉鞋
- 一些地方的河流湍急,可能会导致你脚侧着地,或者在走过松散的岩石时失去立足点。如果你的骨头很脆弱,这可能会很糟糕。
- 导游的英语水平和礼貌程度参差不齐。
- 导游非常擅长帮助人们上下各种爬坡,这对于保持事物的顺利进行和保证人们的安全至关重要。
- 我走到售票柜台,他只解释了 7 个瀑布,因为水位低。我付了 1,000 比索,不知道要花多少钱。他按了几个按钮,就以这个价格给我和妻子买了一张票。和其他人交谈后,听起来我赚了。
- 需要 2 小时,所以如果你在降落时和出租车司机交了朋友,问他带你去瀑布、逗留 2 小时再送你回来要收多少钱。比挤在公共汽车上好多了,价格可能也差不多。
- 我们没有去自助餐、照片升级、高空滑索、猴子或礼品店,但我们仍然说 5 星。
- 给导游小费!
