Interesting and educational. - Very interesting, with large spaces. The accompanying Guide will explain the geological formations. Need to go with suitable footwear, tennis or walking boots. Never shoes, slippers or sandals, risk of falls and slides. The photos with water, which appear in the publicity photos are in specific periods of rain, ⁇ January and February. Confirm that first.
