Description
Twin roadside waterfalls, we go up the river to the left at a Y and return via the same Y to the right on the way back. All along the river, we’ll reach a total of 7 waterfalls, each with its own bathing basin. Then we climb to the top of a ridge and descend to a lovely viewpoint over the ocean. Lunch break at this point. We then descend the ridge through dense forest. Eventually we rejoin the river, then the Y at the start and return down to the cascade Jumelle.
