It is a fun ride, mostly downhill with amazing waterfalls, lakes of deep blue water, bridges and dense vegetation. The surface of the trail is relatively smooth with an exception of some rocky parts. Some sections require technical skills and are not easy to avoid, if you are a beginner. Bare in mind that this trail is very popular to hikers as well, so be extra careful with them.
