during the weekends the place tends to get busier, especially in the afternoons. it is important to pick sunny, warm days to visit, since the water temperature tends to be a bit fairly cold - as is the case with most waterfalls. the plunge pool is relatively shallow - children are therefore able to swim, away from the main chute.

there are several guided ecological walks and groups that gather to do the hike. it is a good activity for all ages - no dogs are allowed on this trail.

the surrounding garden is a great place to relax while reading a book, catching some rays, or simply listening to the song birds. in addition, the nearby paxeco bar is a good option for a drink after wallowing in the water and it is possible to sit on the terrace while admiring the view of christ the redeemer.
