This tour requires a high medium physical condition, usually on this tour we walk on the rainforest to visit the waterfall where people can swim on the pond, however it requires high medium effort to do it on the rainforest, people with limited conditions on mobility is recommended to stay on the village while the other ones visit the waterfall.
If you feel you're not able to do the hiking in the rainforest please let me know and we can skip that part of the tour.
