Mayfield Falls

The Mayfield Falls are a series of waterfalls situated on the Mayfield River in the parish of Westmoreland in Jamaica. The falls feature 21 cascades in total. The tallest, nicknamed the ‘Washing Machine’ and reaching around three meters in height, is large enough for visitors to get behind and play in the jets of water. The jungle setting of the falls is abundant with lush plantlife, as well as a variety of exotic species of birds, butterflies, and other wildlife native to Jamaica.
Most people set off to the Mayfield Falls with a guide. The level of physical activity here is moderately demanding and involves quite a walk through the water and across rocks to explore the falls in their entirety. 

Practical Info

Tours with a guide usually last an hour and a half and operate between 8am and 4:30pm. Water shoes are available to rent as the rocks are slippery, and there are also lockers to store any belongings in. There is a café on-site that serves local Jamaican cuisine.
