Destination

If you like to hike, then this is a treat. Concord is not one, but three waterfalls. It is situated on the edge of the forest reserve on the western side of the island, and therefore the water is crystal clear and ice cold. Of the three waterfalls in this area, the first one is the most readily accessible and most photographed, with a paved road leading almost directly up to it. There is nothing like taking a bracing dip in a cool mountain stream, so we do suggest that you walk with the necessary clothing. The second (Au Coin) of the three falls is bigger and taller, and is reached only after a 45 minute hike. The trail goes through a nutmeg plantation and is clearly marked, so a guide is not absolutely necessary. However, a guided tour with someone who can show you the different types of cultivated plants and their uses is well worth it. The third falls (Fontainbleu) is a little off the beaten track, but well worth the journey. At Fontainbleu, the water cascades down a 65 foot cliff into a crystal clear pool.
