Featured Experience

The Sticky Waterfall is great fun for visitors of all ages. Thanks to the porous surface of the rocks, they provide enough grip to climb directly up the waterfall through the flowing water. Climbing its different levels is a refreshing, surprising and truly special experience, culminating at the top with open views of the surrounding villages. It’s a moment that always brings smiles and becomes one of the favourite memories of the day.

“Fun guaranteed for visitors of all ages.”

We’ll climb to the top to enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding villages.
