Island Hikers

Have you ever had a memorable experience that lingers in your mind ? A visit to the Rio Seco Waterfall in Salybia could evoke feelings of serenity that will be unforgettable .  Describe as one of the most attactive nature spots for an outdoor recreation The  RioSeco or Salybia Waterfall is incomparable to the rest .The trail to the falls is an easy thirty minutes hike with a huge plunge pool perfect for swimmers.

The bands of rock encircling the falls create a relaxing atmosphere as nature lovers sit and enjoy this spectacular land form .The refreshing air ,the enchanting harmony of the birds,the  evergreen foliage with it’s  autumn leaves and the softness of the Salybia waters enhance the perfection of this environment.  The Spanish name for Rio Seco is dry river bed and with such a continuous supply of water the name seems ironic ,however adventuring upstream to the Sulphur Springs  or to Figwharf (a banana plantation for hunters )evidence of dry river beds exists

.The highest elevation to the falls is 550 feet and there are three main routes through Mora forest to get there.Trails one and  two from Alcindor and Tabateau Trace takes two hours while the preferred route is from The Salybia-Mathura Trace with a distance of 1 ½ miles.The forestry division and the ministry of tourism recognising the potential of the waterfall has fixed the muddy roads which in the rainy season was like a quagmire and created signs to the falls.
