TESTIMONIALS:




MEGAN HAWKS, EC 75
This was a waterfall that I had heard about but never visited. So, one day a friend of mine drove me there. We just had a short visit– but I think it would be a great place to have lunch. The waterfall is not big and robust– but it is very tall and water trickles down the rocks. You can climb around a bit. This could be included in a day of sites in Soufriere.
