There seems to be a lack of signposts to direct you from the carpark to the falls. local guides are quick to direct you to a place where you can view the cascades from the top. this is stunning and not to be missed. BUT unless you want to take a long hike up and down the valley and paying the guide (you need to be fit to do this) go back to the car park. the guides will let you wander around hoping you will get lost and then need them, they will not point you back to the quick way down !!!
Go back to the car park park, find the tourist kiosks/stalls and follow the path and steps from there down to the bottom.
Unique Suggestions: If you do take a guide and do the trek negotiate a price first. They will also try to take you to a friends restaurant near the end. Eat here if you wish, but there are a few restaurants right at the foot of the falls with a much better view..
Fun Alternatives: Take the stairs down and spend the saved time and energy at one of the good cafes with amazing views.
