A very beautiful gorge, but unfortunately, the path down through the gorge was impassable at the time of my visit—it ended right before the bridge. Whether the path was permanently damaged or the water was just too high at the time was unclear. In any case, there are detours, so it wasn't a problem.

Hiking

An incredibly beautiful section of the route, but certainly challenging. Sturdy footwear, a good level of fitness, and surefootedness are required.
