Tips

Chloé Perceval

June 8, 2022

The waterfall gets its name from the rainbow that often appears when the sun hits the cliff. It's beautiful!

Vicky

September 8, 2023

You're standing right next to the waterfall - the little detour is definitely worth it! However, the path back on this side of the river was very little used and heavily populated by mosquitoes, so the other side (via the gravel road) is more recommended.
