Find Your Flow Make a splash at these Caribbean waterfalls BY LISA DAVIS
W
ith emerald-colored lagoons, secluded white-sand beaches and tropical forests, the Caribbean’s landscape is diverse, unspoiled and picture perfect. In addition, staggering waterfalls that cascade down rocky mountainous slopes provide travelers with Instagram-worthy beauty and a sense of discovery. These falls are among the most scenic:
CONCORD FALLS Grenada Located in a forest preserve on the western side of ovalshaped, roughly 21-mile-long Grenada is Concord Falls, which consists of three waterfalls (Concord, Fontainebleau and Au Coin) that pour over green mossy mountain sides. Concord is the most accessible, situated off a paved road. Plan to bring a bathing suit and swim in the fall’s lagoon. The 65-foot Fontainebleau trail leads visitors from Concord through a nutmeg plantation. Au Coin requires a longer and more rigorous hike but is well worth the travel time for adventure seekers who want to swim in its crystal clear pool.
Tips: Because Fontainebleau and Au Coin are only accessible through private properties, you must hire a local guide to visit them. Most hotels on the island can arrange tours. Also, plan to bring snacks and plenty of water when spending time at any of the three waterfalls. Most restaurants and shops are about 10 miles away in St. George’s, Grenada’s capital city.
