Terribly littered, authorities do not keep it clean at all. Trinidadians do not treat their beautiful places with the dignity they deserve More

The path to the falls is full of garbage. The falls itself is nothing out of the ordinary and if you are really unlucky, you will bounce up someone with attitude.... More

A short drive through St. Joseph. The hike is fairly short maybe about 45-60 minutes along an uphill track. A nice way to spend a morning in the outdoors. There are no facilities at the car park so you need to bring what you need. Also any garbage needs to be packed out as well. More

These falls are too accesible so locals come along to picnic and leave their garbage behind. There appears to be no one in authority to check or manage the area. There are many better waterfalls in Trinidad that require a bit of hiking to get to,and generally those that hike are eco conscious and take their garbage home with them More

An outing for hikers, families and friends who want to enjoy nature to the fullest, breathe in fresh air and feel relaxed in the greenery, a splash of cold clean water and the pictures of nature along the way. A refreshing walk thru nature. More

After travelling through Maracas Valley lined within residental areas all along the path, get to the end of the road, paring facilities available for the safety of your vehicle. Begin walking uphill along the path there is a track which leads to a cascade of 3 mini waterfalls with two large pools that are suitable for swimming, walk even further... More

The forestry department have made a great effort in maintaining this place, but people who often visit this wonderful place often leave their litter all over the place sadly hereby spoiling the naturalness of the place. Otherwise, a beautiful hike and nice bathing here. More

What's not to like about a water fall? For something that Nature made it's excellent. The input of man leaves much to be desired though! Wish we would pay more attention to what God has so abundantly blessed us with! More
