Mt Carmel Falls trailhead — Attraction in undefined

The place was AMAZING. Google maps worked perfectly to get me there. The sign is rather small but there is a sign stating where it is.

We parked on the side of the road, our car was safe.

DO NOT hire the locals to be your tour guide, no matter how much they insist. I was almost scammed out of $10 USD ($27 EC) by some kids. The guy first tried walking us down the step to enter the trail to the waterfalls and I IMMEDIATELY refused. Then he insisted on my giving him my 10 USD and he'd give me 15 EC in change (which is incorrect, I would receive 21 EC back🤦🏿‍♀️🤦🏿‍♀️). There is a $5 EC ($2 USD) fee to enter. I was unsure who to pay being that I was almost scammed. The trail took us about 7 minutes to walk. 3 security guards (they had uniforms on) where there. They did inform us that they do not take payment to enter (so again, I was confused on who to pay). The waterfalls themselves are amazing. There are 2 of them, one to the left (a 2 minute walk) and one to the right (5 minute walk) with an area to slide down into the water. Security was kind enough to walk us to the slide waterfall area. We had an amazing time. We stayed for about an hour. I'd suggest having EC so it's easier to convert and minimize scamming.. recommend to anyone!

I had a BLAST ! we even saw some goats...

Entrance was little difficult to find. Once you see the sign look to your immediate right. There is a bar called the Waterfall bar. They will guide you to entrance next to the bar. Cost...$2.50EC per person. No need for guide. Maybe 15 min walk to falls. The local dog followed us all the way there! The beginning was very easy. Then there were a couple sporty sections with slippery mud where you need to be very careful. Still not for people who are not conditioned or who have difficulty climbing or bending (esp if venturing to second lower falls which has more slippery areas this time of year). Beautiful site once there. Good for taking pictures and those more fearless and in shape people can venture across the big rocks to the water for a dip. There is a covered sitting area and trash can that was overflowing with trash. Rest of area was well groomed. Parked on side of road up the other street that met the main road by bar. There is another bar...painted green and yellow there on left. A nice adventure for sure! Wear shoes with good traction! Oh, and a must do is to get a beer or soda at the Waterfall bar and support the local economy! People there very...

The entrance is along a stone path between 2 buildings and we walked by 2 fellas one asked for small entrance fee as this is not on public lands. Presumably some of it goes to trail upkeep as we saw several guys hacking down brush and fighting back bamboo. The other fella Akeem and was actually great he made sure we took the safest route and even showed us the right way down the rock slide and best spot to jump off the cliff. Our kids had a safe memorable experience. We gave him 10 USD initially then he asked for more as we left so he was probably expecting a 20 which was well worth the hour of entertainment. Just wish we knew what the...
