Beautiful View and refreshing experience! Remember to bring a change of clothes and secure shoes as there is a bamboo bridge to cross and the falls themselves require swimwear if you plan to take a dip! Hoping this region is further developed by St. Vincent into a proper tourist destination with more shops and rest areas.
