The intense spray provides welcome relief from the heat, but don’t carry anything you don’t want to get wet! « A walk in the Rainforest or "highway to heaven" keeps you at eye level with sheets of cascading water, being soaked by the misty breath and deafened by its thunderous roar Mid Water ¤ April and May.
