We really recommend to bring a waterproof boot to hike the last 500 meters on wet terrain - The hike demands some jumps over springs, wet lava walls and rocky section - The terrain to hike offer a dusty and slippery section where you will enjoy your boots - We also recommend to bring swimsuit and towel in case you would like to get cold shower in the waterfall or enjoy the thermal pools in Yura.
