Waterfalls like this don't just stumbleupon. Especially in rural St. Andrew. If you're not living on this side of the island you'll definitely have no business up this side in the mountains. There are little to no public transportation in these areas, so the road is pretty much lonely. The drive is long and the roads are narrow if that doesn't get to you, then the potholes decorating the road will certainly do. What could've been a short trip took hours due to poor roads condition. Doesn't seem like the members of these community voted (Inside joke) SMH.. If you don't own a Jeep, Pickup or Tractor etc don't even attempt to take on this journey.
Poor road conditions
I am somewhat clueless to the actual name of this waterfall, my good friend Kyle from Instagram told me about it a few years back and even sent me the pin and advised me which direction to drive to get there because the roads were in very poor conditions. While driving to the location I remembered why I waited so long to go. DI ROAD BAD!!! If you do decide to visit this spot the sensible thing to do is to go early, with a group and don't be in a hurry to get back into the city. There is really no need for that since the traffic is non-existent, if you're not the one driving sit back and enjoy the views.

On Wednesday March 2, 2022 I left home 10am with another curious soul as myself. We drove to Gordon Town square and then turned right and continued. We stopped a few times along the journey and asked for directions to see if we're heading in the right directions, even though I had the pin for the location we were heading. This was for the reassurance of the person driving lol. When we got to the location it was around midday, You can actually see the waterfalls from the road way if you have an eye for such things lol.
View of the falls from the main road
We took our backpacks from the car and started the mini hike down hill. We had to walk through somebody's yard to get to it and also get help from a small boy who we paid to show us the way from his house to the falls.
See my YouTube video for a small preview of the entire journey.
However we didn’t get to swim because algae took over the river bed. Nevertheless it was still so beautiful. St. Peter was tall and handsome as heaven. I was in complete bliss. I could just imagine what it's like without the algae.

There is no guarantee when chasing waterfalls sometimes you hit the jackpot and sometimes you just have to revisit, in this case I will.

Ya estoy de vueltah!!! Hola amigos (amigas) I’m back, Happy new year. I know I’ve been MIA but I promise to be consistent this year. With that being said, come along with me for part of my day as we go waterfall hunting internationally. Yes!!! International waterfall story time. On November 2, 2023 my friend and I decided to drive 45 minutes from Medellin to Retiro to see a waterfall which is suited on the Rio Negro river. Getting to the waterfall was pretty easy, thanks to Google Maps. The waterfall is visible from the road and does not require hiking. I was in a trance when I laid eyes on this magnificent cascade. The water flew down the giant, sun baked rocks like milk from heaven and ran away fast into a tiny but swift stream. Surrounded by tall, lush green trees and soft beds of grass, makes it easy for an ideal picnic spot. In no time I was in my bikini, breathing in the sweet flowers perfuming the air and humming the roar of water droplets pattering aga...
Nanny Falls I always wanted to visit Nanny Falls but never seems to have company to go so I decided to save it for last. About a month ago I saw a flier on Instagram advertising a trip there. I messaged and asked a question but not long after I totally forgot about it. Too many waterfalls rushing through my mind and I wanna see the unique ones first lol. Plus This month (April) has been really good to me. I've seen some new waterfalls Big River (Lime Ha ll) and Marston Spring (Spanish River ). I also revisited Stewart Mountain. I also got some beach days in and I finally got a good photo of the waterfalls in Ocho Rios, so as you can see it's been a perfect month for me. Nanny Falls Fast-forward to April 21, the host for the trip I messaged about a month back reached out to me two days before the trip to offer me an exclusive deal. I don't like doing much on my sabbath however I accepted the offer, bear in mind that I've never gone on a bus trip with people I don'...
Orchid Falls Don't underestimate St. Andrew, he has some of the most beautiful waterfalls. Today my journey took me back to Gordon Town for a repeated adventure. No, we're not heading back to Hope River. Instead of turning left to go to Penfield , we turned right to Enfield Road and continued until we reached a small parking area. You have to park and walk for a couple minutes until you get to the river area. My first visit was back in the summer of 2019 when I went to an all you can eat seafood brunch. The river was low because of the drought at the time so you know what that means. Yes!! The waterfall was barely trickling, the drought had it dehydrated. Check out photos from my first visit here... https://www.instagram.com/p/B2UyBo2AcAX/ https://www.instagram.com/p/B2Uur3SgK4m/ Mermaid sighting Fast forward to Wednesday February 23, 2022 my neighbor and I ventured to Pretty Close to see Orchid in all his glory because photos of him were going around on Instagram. ...
