Take the easy hike to Matapa Chasm, where royalty traditionally used to bathe. A walk through the forest will lead you to this sheltered basin hemmed in by dramatic cliffs. Swim, cliff dive, or snorkel in the crystal clear waters. Wear sturdy shoes as you walk around the area, since the rocks can be quite sharp.
