Trafalgar Falls

Trafalgar Falls is a pair of waterfalls in the rainforest of Dominica, featuring two cascades of different heights that flow side by side. Both falls create natural pools at their base where the Roseau River's water gathers.

The site underwent changes to its surrounding trails following a major storm in 2017 that affected the region. The natural water features and structure of the falls themselves remained largely unchanged through this period.

The site is part of the local tourism network where guides share knowledge about the rainforest and its plants as visitors walk the pathways. The falls hold meaning for people who come to experience the natural power of water in this landscape.

The site is accessible daily and requires a short walk of about 15 minutes from the entrance to reach the main viewing platform. Proper footwear is essential as the paths can be wet and slippery.

A distinctive feature is the presence of natural hot springs near the cold falls, allowing visitors to experience contrasting water temperatures in one location. This combination of thermal features is unusual for a waterfall site in the region.
