• We recommend to wear water shoes, hiking sandals or sport shoes that you don't mind if get wet, avoid beach sandals, flip flops or Crocs similars because you will be walking on mud, slippery rocks and water.
• At the end of the trail there is a waterfall with shallow waters where you can swim with clothes or you could bring swimsuit under clothes because there is no place to change there.
