From gate 1 of Villa Elma you can go down using the hanging bridge or the stairs. While going down there's sculpture that you may take photos with. On the ground there's a batis that caught my attention because the water that runs is clear and very clean but swimming is not allowed. There are also many sculpture at ground like dinasours, saints and the family of owner.

At the ground there is another way going up using stairs. Going up there are also sculptures of Saints and Jesus. This place maybe tiring but it is worth it because of the views.
