“The descent down the well is such a cool and exciting experience! It’s a walk down a set of stairs (15 steps broken up into several sets) where the stairs do not get more and more narrow. Following the well, you get down to the caves and you also see lovely waterfalls. Such an amazing sight to see and definitely one of the cooler experiences! My friend had a boot on for her broken foot and she was able to do this no problem!”
