Trafalgar Falls, Dominica

Trafalgar Falls offers two waterfalls for the price of one. It might be the most popular tourist attraction in the country, and certainly is one of the jewels of Morne Trois Pitons National Park.

The area is located about seven miles from Roseau, the capital of the country. You can get a ride up to the hills, or - if you need the exercise - you can hike up the narrow road to get there. (In the case of the latter, watch out for cars and buses,) After paying a small fee, visitors go through the beautiful rain forest to reach the falls. Just be careful about the walk; this isn't Yellowstone and there are a couple of slightly difficult spots in terms of traction that require some caution.

The two waterfalls are respectfully called "Father" and "Mother." There is a nice platform for viewing, and people can get relatively close to the falls. The photos don't really do it justice; it's a great place for a visit.
