Maracas Waterfall


Maracas Waterfall is one of the most accessible waterfalls on the island. The scenery offers breathtaking natural beauty. You can access it via Waterfall Road in Maracas Valley in St. Joseph. Once there, the walk should take you no longer than 25 minutes...but be sure instead to walk slowly and let your senses come alive to remarkable scenes of nature. The variety of tree species ranges from Puoi to Immortels, to Mahot and much more. There is an explosion of colour in every nook, corner and up every tree. 

The trail is open and well kept...for a hike that is.

When you arrive at the falls, you are transplanted into another realm. The water falls ever so slowly as if smoke is descending very casually to the base. It falls from a dizzying height and evokes nothing less than wonder.

The silence envelops the traveler like a shroud and all you hear are the gentle breezes and the sound of water from the gods...inviting you to refresh your soul.

Tour hikes are availabe in the dry season so e-mail soon at jevegems@gmail.com
