An excellent day with Mariya - I received a message from the Guide the day before with all the necessary information. She was punctual in picking us up at the Inn and very friendly on the way. Another person joined us for the hike. A very pleasant and informative day. The combination of hiking/bathing/waterfall is perfect.
