Day 4:
HIKING / CASCADING
What a great day this is! We'll start with a short hike through the woods towards the waterfalls of Imbert. Here we'll swim in a mountain pool to the bottom of the first of the 27 waterfalls that we are going to conquer. We'll scale cliffs, sometimes with the help of ropes and guides, swim through caves, tunnels and mountain pools conquering each fall one by one. Sliding, jumping, diving and swimming back down the falls is as much fun as climb up.
