Turure Water Steps

Tour Details:

Nestled in the lush Cumaca valley is the easy opportunity for you and the family to explore this beautiful battery of waterfalls dubbed the Turure Watersteps. The river you will traverse finds its source at the limestone region of Platanal.

As you approach the 'steps’ you will traverse sedimentary rock formations (calcium carbonate) deposited over time. Not only does this serve as an interesting highlight, but it’s also almost impossible to slip on; a great opportunity for the kids to practice some rockclimbing.

In addition to the falls, you can also plunge into anyone of the enchanting pools which this watercourse offers. There is even a small fissure feature hidden behind the water curtain of the most horizontal of the falls, another great exploration option.

THE TREK

Your 3km/2mi trek (one way) starts at the Turure Bridge after a short jeep road drive through the Cumaca Valley. The trail is more or less parallel to the river. It is undulating and none of the terrain is very challenging. Along the way there will be a couple very shallow river crossings.

Move at an easy pace and absorb the magnificent flora and fauna this valley offers. If luck is on your side, you may get the distinct sounds of the Bearded Bellbird cheerlead you along the way. You may even get the chance to observe a couple channel-billed toucans!
