We really enjoyed this hike and our guide, Pablo, was wonderful and very helpful. We were the only ones on the trail which made this feel like we were being shown and unknown locals-only type trail. We walked in our hiking shoes through the river which was unique and pretty fun (be sure to pack some sandals for after!). Pablo did the hike in Tivas/Chacos with a strap, so you've got some options when it comes to footwear. Also, be such to bring sunscreen and bug spray!
The waterfall was beautiful and so was the canyon overall. Pablo was really helpful in took lots of photos of us throughout the hike. He also had bagged snacks for us once we got to the waterfall (fruit, water, candy, and crackers) which was a pleasant surprise.
The thermal baths were nice but bring cash because the entrance (5-10 soles depending on the day) is not included.
Overall, this was a wonderful little trip that I feel is off the beaten path a little bit...maybe a mostly locals only hidden gem?
