Namo Falls

Namo Falls features two separate cascades along the Namo River, called Grandmother Falls and Grandfather Falls, situated within a private botanical garden. Both drops flow through lush vegetation and create natural pools at their bases.

Early Guamanian settlers named these falls based on their recognition of water sources as vital to island life. The names reflect how locals understood and valued these natural features in their environment.

The plants around these falls, from mangoes to orchids, have long been part of daily life and local traditions on the island.

Entry is through a private botanical park along Route 12 between Agat and Santa Rita where an entrance fee applies. Wear sturdy shoes since the paths to the falls can be slippery.

The site holds regional plant species arranged for visitors interested in learning about local vegetation beyond just the waterfalls. Many guests focus only on the flowing water and overlook the botanical collection that surrounds them.
