Sobre
Fatos rápidos: Somerset Falls stretches across three layers of limestone rock, with the tallest reaching 12 meters. Visitors can swim in six different natural pools along the falls, surrounded by tropical gardens featuring over 30 species of native plants.
Destaques: Unlike most waterfalls in Jamaica, you can swim here behind the curtain of flowing water into a small natural cave behind the main layer. The water remains at a constant 24 degrees Celsius all year round, and its rush through the limestone rock creates fine natural fountains like refreshing sprays on your face.
Dicas de quem conhece
- Wear water shoes or sport sandals with good grip because the rocks are very slippery, especially near the water flow.
- The best angle for photography is from the middle of the waterfalls going upward, where sunlight reflects off the water mist creating small rainbows.
- Avoid visiting the place after heavy rainfall because the water becomes murky and the current gets stronger.
- You can skip the guided tour if you are confident in your climbing abilities, but the local guides know the safest jumping points.
