You start at a roadside meeting point in Henrietta, the river already audible: the Tamarind stream calling you up-river through a sequence of falls and rock pools. Footsteps climb a narrow path through sugarcane cuttings and low forest; the water appears, first a ribbon, then a cascade that dares you closer. Guides point out a first 40m drop, then unveil smaller falls and deep, swim-ready ponds tucked beside the trail.
