Discover more about Mount Carmel

Mount Carmel Falls, also known as Royal Mount Carmel Falls or Marquis Falls, offers a serene escape into Grenada's lush interior. Located on the eastern side of the island, about 45 minutes from St. George's, this natural wonder is Grenada's tallest waterfall, plunging 70 feet into a refreshing pool below. The journey to the falls is an experience in itself. A 20-minute hike through private spice plantations, filled with hills and valleys, sets the stage for the natural beauty that awaits. The trail is generally easy, though it can be muddy, especially during the rainy season. Upon arrival, the majestic waterfall creates a tranquil atmosphere. The pool at the base invites visitors to swim and slide off natural rocks. The surrounding area is rich in tropical flora and fauna, offering a chance to connect with nature. For those seeking a more adventurous experience, local guides can lead you to a second, lower waterfall or even to the top of the main falls. While other waterfalls in Grenada, like Annandale Falls and Concord Falls, are more easily accessible and popular, Mount Carmel Falls offers a more secluded and authentic experience. It's a place to escape the crowds and immerse yourself in the unspoiled beauty of Grenada's rainforest.
