Favourite part was having the waterfalls to ourselves. Least favourite part was the markers on the route :-D We parked at the trout farm at the bottom and walked up - there a couple of small pools and waterdrops that you can stop at and admire / catch your breath. There is a covered seat section that has a 2km marker which very nearly made me turn around as really didn't want to climb that distance on top of what we'd already done, but I think it must've been for those that come from the top as less that 200m of clambering up and over rocks and steps we reached the falls. The water is cold, it is slippery and if you brave bare feet the stones are uncomfortable. But on a hot day, and a fair hike, who cares!

you can drive with the car right next to the waterfalls almost , so its easily accessible by small children and elders . Platres nearby has many locations to spent your day , eat, stay and many nature walks start from Platres in the mountainous area. the climate is always nice and fresh during the day in the summer months and quite cold during night . in winter times it may also snow in the area !

Quite a steep hike down to the bridge at times and loose gravel but worth the trip. Beautiful, a step back in time.
