For Hiking

The 2.5 mile trail takes you through rich forest and involves an uphill hike followed by a long ridge walk and then a steep downhill. The hike is rated as strenuous and takes approximately 2 ½  hours. The best time to see the power of Habio is during the rainy season when the water flow is at its fullest. In the rainy season however the trail will be muddy, increasing the difficulty of the hike. Habio is a spray type waterfall with the water hitting the black stone backdrop and spraying out in droplets. The spray and the pounding of the water into the pool at the base makes the area feel breezy and cool.
