A narrow dirt lane opens to plantation air: clove and nutmeg slip under your nose as you step off a minivan and onto a shaded trail. The hike to Mt. Carmel Falls begins as a soft climb through cultivated terraces and scattered citrus trees; after about 15–25 minutes you arrive at a rocky chute where water threads down a steep bed into a small plunge pool that dares you to wade in.
