Mount Carmel Falls: Grenada's Hidden Waterfall Gem

Mount Carmel Falls, also known as Royal Mount Carmel Falls or Marquis Falls, is Grenada's tallest waterfall, plunging 70 feet into a refreshing natural pool. Located on the eastern side of the island, south of Grenville, it offers a tranquil escape from the more crowded tourist spots. The journey to the falls is an easy and enjoyable 10 to 20-minute hike through private plantations, where you can see local spices and tropical fruits growing. The path is generally well-marked, and the sound of the falls guides you along the way. While a guide isn't necessary, hiring one supports the local community and provides insights into the surrounding flora. Upon arrival, you're greeted by the majestic waterfall and the opportunity to swim in the natural pool at its base. You can even slide down the natural rock slides. The falls are surrounded by lush greenery, creating a serene and picturesque setting. The falls are located on private property, and a small entrance fee is usually collected.
