点评:We visited Saut du Gendarme Waterfall as part of an excursion, when we docked in Martinque for 1 day, with our cruise ship.
As we walked to Saut du Gendarme, immediately you are captured by the area’s beautiful views of Morne Rouge rainforest, which is located on the north side of the island.
The rainforest, landscape and scenery of Martinque felt like we were back in Costa Rica, with its unspoiled natural beauty.
We were surprised at the size of the Waterfall, it was taller than we expected 32 feet high, and more impressive with Saut du Gendarme than the waterfall we had seen in Dominica.
The water beneath the waterfall was crystal clear and not as cold as we had anticipated.
We didn’t expect to see small freshwater fish swimming around our feet, when we stood at the bottom of the waterfall pool.
As this is a popular tourist spot, it felt very busy around the waterfall and difficult to take photos. However, although there were lots of tourist when we visited in mid-February, the atmosphere felt very peaceful and relaxed.
I would recommend this waterfall to visit for able walkers but not young children or people with mobility issues as there is a small hike downhill to reach the waterfall.
翻译:我们乘坐游轮在马丁克岛停留一天,期间参加了一个岸上游览项目,参观了宪兵瀑布(Saut du Gendarme Waterfall)。
前往宪兵瀑布的路上,我们立刻被莫恩鲁日雨林(Morne Rouge rainforest)的壮丽景色所吸引,这片雨林位于岛屿的北侧。
马丁克岛的雨林、地貌和景色让我们仿佛回到了哥斯达黎加,那里拥有未经破坏的自然美景。
瀑布的规模让我们感到惊讶,它比我们预想的要高,足足有32英尺(约9.7米),比我们在多米尼克看到的瀑布更加壮观。
瀑布下的水清澈见底,并没有我们想象中那么冷。
站在瀑布底部的水潭里,我们惊喜地发现脚边游来游去的小淡水鱼。
由于这里是热门旅游景点,瀑布周围非常拥挤,拍照不太方便。不过,虽然我们二月中旬去的时候游客很多,但气氛却非常宁静祥和。
我建议身体状况允许的游客前往参观这个瀑布,但不适合带幼儿或行动不便的人士,因为需要走一小段下坡路才能到达瀑布。
