Awao Falls
About
A giant tilted rock face with dozens of white streams running down it like lace! Awao Falls doesn't fall as one curtain: water spreads in thin ribbons across a huge slab of mossy rock into a pool at its foot, surrounded by thick forest. It's a three-minute walk from the parking area once you get there. Come after some rain for the fullest look!
