Prepared to be dirty using hands rocks and branches to get up as some aspects are very steep and can be slippery. However it was perfect for us and didn’t mind the mud or rain at all.”

“The Seven Waterfalls hike with Jeremie and Regine was amazing! We were in a small group of just the two of us, making the experience very personal. The trail offered stunning viewpoints for photography and a chance to swim under waterfalls (though we skipped it—too cold for us! 😄). Jeremie’s and Regine’s love for nature truly made the hike special. They led us to hidden, authentic spots where we didn’t meet a single person. They showed us unique plants, animals, and even mentioned you can taste termites (apparently, they taste like peanuts! 🐜). What impressed us most was their genuine care for the environment. Unlike others, they approach every hike…”
