A short, steep hike from an old estate drops into a rainforest valley where two waterfalls plunge into cool swimming pools. Expect muddy trails, lively birdlife, and a refreshing swim in crystalline mountain water.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the minivan onto a lane that opens to old agricultural terraces and the damp, green hush of Grenada’s interior. The trail drops quickly, carved along the flank of a broad valley where the rainforest leans in close and birds call from the canopy. Mud clings to your boots; humidity clings to your skin. Far below, a river threads through rock and shadow, and the double curtains of the Seven Sisters cascade into deep, clear pools that dare you to swim.

Wear grippy footwear
Trail is often muddy and rooted—waterproof hiking shoes or sturdy water sandals with good tread will keep you steady.
Bring a dry bag
Switches in tropical weather and river swims mean a small dry bag will protect electronics and spare clothes.
Bring insect repellent
Mosquitoes and sandflies are common near the river and in shaded rainforest sections—apply before hiking and after swimming.
Time your visit
Morning hikes are cooler and bird activity is higher; avoid heavy rain to reduce slippery trail sections and stream levels.
Sturdy/waterproof hiking shoes
Provide traction on muddy, rooty sections and support on uneven terrain.
Swimsuit and quick-dry towel
You’ll likely want to swim in the cool pools below the waterfalls.
Dry bag or ziplock for electronics
Protection from sudden rain and splash from the river.
Insect repellent and sunscreen
Essential for comfort in shaded rainforest and exposed stops.
