Both falls are accessed by a .4 mile (600m) walk along a well trodden trail that leads to a viewing platform. Bring your camera. If you are adventurous enough climb higher up the falls to a second pool and have a swim there. After a swim in the pool, you could find a comfortable seat in the rocks to the left of the pool and enjoy the warmth of the thermal seeps from the rocks - all the time looking southwest down the valley to the Caribbean beyond.
