Traveler reviews
Love a waterfall
Really enjoyed the falls. I paid for the boat trip and enjoyed it. My friends didn't and still got good views of the falls. The three lookout points coming up the escarpment were good, each with a different perspective. Make sure you go through the little tunnel at the middle lookout. The exhibition in the old castle was interesting and a bit different to normal. The church in the grounds is also worth a look in.
Great morning
Brilliant experience! The host was amazing he had such good energy. 100% would recommend and also do the boat trip!
Very good ride!
We went by bus, along a dreamlike road. The explanation given by Carla, our Mexican guide, was excellent. José, our Colombian driver, a 10. Both very kind.
Fun for all
Light walking up and down a trail to boat landing. Getting the spray from the falls while in the boat is refreshing and fun.
Rhine falls
The experience did not meet my expectations, particularly when compared to other major attractions like Niagara Falls. Given the cost, I found the value to be unsatisfactory. However, the guide performed adequately and the driver was professional, ensuring our safe return.
