All in all not worth it - First of all, the local guide was super nice and you could have a great conversation with him. Excellent value for money. Unfortunately, the trip was much too long for the relatively small waterfall. All the stops before were just to buy unnecessary things or beg from locals. Furthermore, all the calculated times at the points were much too long. At the top of the waterfall, they suddenly said "We'll be leaving in 2 minutes" because there was nothing to buy there.
