Another favorite spot in the Orlias Gorge, the Orlias Waterfalls are known for their accessibility and their beautiful natural pools. This is a perfect location for families and couples looking for a romantic and peaceful escape into nature.

Before visiting, check for weather conditions and bring appropriate footwear — many of these trails are easy but can be slippery when wet. To make the most of your trip, consider booking a local guide for a safe and insightful experience.
