The Trois Bras waterfall in Martinique is one of the highest on the island. The place is a very good opportunity to admire the lush, dense and exotic vegetation. The waterfall is located in the middle of a tropical forest. A very good opportunity to see the banana trees, coconut trees and mangroves.

At the bottom of the waterfall, you will find a small pool. You will just have to stand under the waterfall and enjoy the fresh and invigorating water of the Montagne Pelée.

Address and access map to the Cascade de Trois Bras

61 km separate Fort-de-France and Grand'Rivière. The trip usually takes 3 hours by car. We recommend you to take the highway D10, passing by Le Prêcheur, it's the fastest way. After a few minutes, you will see a parking lot. From the parking lot, just follow the signs to the waterfall :)

Note that the Cascade Trois Bras is accessible from both Grand'Rivière and Le Prêcheur. It will still take between 1.5 and 2.5 hours of hiking (depending on your pace) to get there! The Trois Bras waterfall is an excellent destination to admire nature at work. A tourist wonder and a great place to relax and unwind. You won't regret this getaway!
