Mt Carmel Falls Travel Guide

Mt. Carmel Falls, also known as Royal Mt. Carmel Falls or Marquis Falls, is a hidden gem nestled on the eastern side of Grenada, near Grenville in St. Andrew Parish. As Grenada's tallest waterfall, it plunges 70 feet into a natural pool surrounded by lush greenery, creating a picturesque and serene environment.The journey to the falls is an adventure in itself, involving a moderate 10-20 minute hike through a private plantation where local spices and fruits are grown. The well-marked path meanders through verdant vegetation, with the sound of cascading water guiding you closer. Along the way, you might encounter local security personnel offering guidance.Upon arrival, visitors are greeted by the majestic sight of the waterfall and have the opportunity to swim in the cool, refreshing pool at its base. For the adventurous, there's a chance to slide down natural rock slides carved by the water. A smaller, often overlooked lower waterfall can be found by crossing the river along the main path.While the falls are not overly commercialized, they offer a welcoming experience with spots to sit, explore, and capture memorable photos.
