Last weekend we visited Mt. Carmel and boy oh boy was it FUN! We crammed 16 people into 3 small cars and made the 45 min drive to the falls. Despite sitting on laps and driving with my head out the window to fit- it was so absolutely worth it!! By far some of the most fun I've had on the island, and I easily could have played there all day!
First off you hike an easy, but very pretty trail, to a huge waterfall. Since we were all wearing bathing suits when we reached the fall everyone jumped into the water without any hesitation to swim under it. Yeah, awesome right?! Unfortunately, we were so anxious to do so that we decided heck with it and just left our clothes on... and I had decided to wear a white tank top. But I promise it is a swim suit you see under it... wardrobe faux pas for sure! Ooops! But regardless, the scenery was amazing and very few things in life beat swimming under a pounding waterfall!
After lots of playing in the fall, we hit up a rock waterslide!!! Best.thing.ever!!! There are locals there who help you sit in the right spot and then down ya go and plop into a pool of water! Again... a-m-a-z-i-n-g!! Then, being the adventurous people that we are we talked them into letting us try the upper part of the slide. This was much more challenging but with 2 local boys pushing me I did manage to make it all the way from top to bottom... with only a slight elbow injury! Winning!
Hopefully we make it back there before leaving here, and if you haven't been there and are living in Grenada I HIGHLY recommend you add Mt. Carmel to your bucket list :) It is well worth your time and the 3.50EC charge to do the hike!
