Hello, good morning, I saw the circular on Saturday. In the video, I didn't see the waterfall or I didn't notice where the starting point is to go directly.
Good morning! I don't think there is any waterfall on this route... it's a stream! We do not usually upload routes to go directly to a point to avoid deterioration... if you want you can buy the track and walk the path, it is wonderful! A hug
