Magnificent hike along the waterfalls and river that run along the entire route (unfortunately, you have to pay)... Quite physical, and it's a shame that the wooden safety barriers have been destroyed and not replaced. You have to watch where you're walking at all times, and above all, wear very good crampon shoes!
