Seven Sisters Waterfalls: Grenada's Natural Cascade
Discover Grenada's Seven Sisters Waterfalls: A rainforest adventure to cascading falls and refreshing natural pools near St. Andrew's.
The Seven Sisters Waterfalls are a highlight for visitors to Grenada, offering a unique and adventurous experience in the island's lush interior. Located near St Margaret in St. Andrew's parish, the falls are accessible via a moderately challenging 40-minute to 1.5-hour hike through the rainforest. The trail leads you through diverse flora and fauna, with opportunities to spot local wildlife, including colorful birds and monkeys. The 'sisters' are a series of seven cascading waterfalls, each with its own unique charm. The pools at the base of the falls offer a refreshing opportunity to swim in the cool mountain water. The hike itself can be steep and muddy, especially after rain, so appropriate footwear is recommended. Walking sticks are often available at the entrance and can be helpful for navigating the terrain. While the hike can be done independently, local guides are available and can enhance the experience with their knowledge of the area's natural and cultural history. They can also assist with navigating the trail and ensuring your safety. The entrance fee contributes to the maintenance of the area, which is located on private property. The best time to visit is during the dry season, from January to May, when the trails are less likely to be muddy.
