Concord Falls

It was beautiful, and the little shop there is lovely. However, they need to do something about the aggressiveness of the diver. We were with a tour, and it was explained to us that if we took pictures of him, we would be expected to tip. As I had no cash on me, I did not take any pictures. As I was attempting to leave the falls area to return to the shop (and then the buses), he ran in front of me and shoved the box at me and said, "Pay now." I'm sure I gave him a confused look because he said, "For the pictures, you pay." I said, "Oh, I didn't take any pictures, thanks," and tried to step around him. He shoved the box in my way again and said, "NO! You pay now!" Thankfully, the friends I was with saw what was going on.

Simple, ordinary, yet beautiful. There are some hiking trails to two more falls further inside the surrounding forestry if you dare to venture alone, or with a guide.

Had a fantastic time at Concord Waterfall this afternoon. We were fortunate that we had the place to ourselves. It costs EC2.50 per person to enter, you park on the road and make your way down steps to the waterfall (there are 2 sets of steps belonging to 2 different people so take your pick) there are a few souvenir shops opposite the steps, everyone we met was helpful and friendly. I would recommend wearing water shoes because there are stones and rocks as you enter the water, we were glad that we had them and it made a big difference to our enjoyment. It's a great experience and well worth the journey...
