A small parking area on the right, one kilometer from the house of the Forest, a wooden shack to buy souvenirs, a bridge as a landmark, you’re there. Just park your car and locate the entrance road that will lead to the fall. It is also not necessary to be a good walker, to afford the trip. The trail is well marked, flat, no escalation is imposed, simply follow the course of the river Soursop for about 15 minutes.

However, it is preferable to avoid this trip a day or a day after heavy rains. The muddy ground will make this journey much more difficult, with the risk of leaving the river bed. Choose a sunny day, especially since the circuit is permanently shaded by trees of the rainforest.

Once again the flower species most interesting national park are met throughout this journey that takes you directly to the foot of the Cascade Crayfish. As for why it was called Cascade Crayfish, probably because at one time it was full of these little beasts, which is no longer the case today. There remains the pleasure of a good swim in fresh water clear and apparently he has magical powers.

Back in the car park, just across the road, with caution, to return a table of area picnic for this purpose. Where if the time is more conducive to a taste very good coconut ice cream are sold in the parking lot.
