Grenada hat einige sagenhafte Wasserfälle, und nur wenige davon sind der breiten Öffentlichkeit bekannt. Wir haben persönlich mehr als ein Dutzend Wasserfälle mit einer oder mehreren Kaskaden gesehen und haben für Sie hier einige der bekanntesten aufgelistet
Abhängig davon, wie fit Sie körperlich sind, können Sie wählen zwischen einem gemülichen Spaziergang durch einen gepflegten Garten, um zu den 'Annandale Falls' zu kommen; oder, wenn Sie energiegeladen sind, machen Sie eine kleine 20- minütige Wanderung durch den Regenwald, um zu den 'Seven Sister Falls' oder den 'Honeymoon Falls' zu gelangen.

Auf einigen dieser Pfade zu den Wasserfällen, empfehlen wir Ihnen einen Führer zu nehmen. Der Grund, warum wir dazu raten, liegt darin, dass, abhängig von Ihrem Ziel, die Pfade häufig schlecht markiert sind, so dass ein gemütlicher, kurzer Spaziergang ganz schnell zu einer groesseren Wanderung werden kann. Führer können im Naturschutzgebiet von 'Grand Etang' engagiert werden, ausserdem bieten die meisten Ausflugsunternehmen geführte Wanderungen zu allen Wasserfällen an.

Concord Wasserfälle

Wenn Sie gerne wandern, ist das ein besonderes Erlebnis. Concord besteht nicht aus einem, sondern aus drei Wasserfällen
It is situated on the edge of the forest reserve on the western side of the island, and therefore the water is crystal clear and ice cold. Of the three waterfalls in this area, the first one is the most readily accessible and most photographed, with a paved road leading almost directly up to it. There is nothing like a taking a bracing dip in a cool mountain stream, so we do suggest that you walk with the necessary clothing.
The second (Au Coin) of the three falls is bigger and taller, and is reached only after a 45 minute hike. The trail goes through a nutmeg plantation and is readily marked, so a guide is not absolutely necessary. However, a guided tour with someone who can show you the different types of cultivated plants and their uses is well worth it.
The third falls (Fontainbleu) is a little off the beaten track, but well worth the journey. At Fontainbleu, the water cascades down a 65 foot cliff into a crystal clear pool.
If you are planning on visiting all three of the falls, then we suggest that you plan on spending a morning and pack a light lunch and some refreshments. (Don't forget that camera or they might not believe your descriptions back home.)

Seven Sisters Waterfalls

If you are a hiking enthusiast, and are considering a hike through the rain forest, then you should make the Seven Sisters Falls one of your destinations.
This is not a very difficult hike, and it will take you through a private plantation where you will get the chance to see cocoa, nutmeg and banana trees and how they are grown. The hike to the falls only takes about 45 minutes, and you will pass through a section of the rain forest to get there. If it has rained recently, the trail can get a little muddy, so it is advisable to wear something you are not particularly fond of. Of course, when the trail is muddy, it is also a lot more fun. Don't worry though, because when you finally get to the falls, you will be able to wash some of the trail off of your shoes.
Once there, you can swim or relax by the water. The pools at the foot of the falls are quite large, and the swimming is very refreshing as the water is cool. Of course, don't forget the hike back to civilization. I have done this particular hike a number of times, and have enjoyed every one of them. Not far from these falls is another, which is well hidden. It is called the Honeymoon falls. Not easily accessible, but well worth the effort. Lots of people have been to the Seven Sisters and have completely missed this hidden gem.

Several individuals and tour companies offer these hikes, but the two we can personally recommend are; Sunsation Tours and Mandoo. Sunsation Tours has some excellent guides, and they will pick you up and return you to your hotel safely. The cost starts from $25 US$/ person. Mandoo, who is also an excellent taxi and tour guide, is a great choice if you are considering a private hike. If you visit our island and do this hike, let us know what you thought of it, we would appreciate the feedback.
