I went with my family as a child. I remember it being night, and pouring rain. We got to a road that was completely washed out with like a mini river running through it and a huge gap. A random guy had two boards over the gap and was helping guide people's cars over the two boards, cars dangling over the rushing water in pitch black.

I've been back as an adult (and I'm visiting next week!) and it's an amazing place with beautiful people. But you do have to adapt to it a little, unlike so many other tourist destinations where you never have to. Not a bad thing.
