Alexandra Falls (point de vue)

On the Plaine Champagne road, a large car park with a few vendors marks the start of a short shady path: past picnic tables and a small bridge over a calm river, you reach the viewpoint in five minutes. A wooden platform gives a panorama over the forested valley and the south-east coast, with the white ribbon of Alexandra Falls on the right. More seasoned walkers can extend on a 2.75 km loop that drops to the top of the falls, which is much steeper. A must-stop when crossing the park.

Guide
Not needed
Free access. The viewpoint is a few minutes from the car park; the path down to the top of the falls (2.75 km, +125 m) is rated difficult.
Season
Year-round; the falls are more impressive after the rainy season.
Family
Easy viewpoint. The path to the top of the falls is steep, narrow and rocky, very slippery after rain, with a serious fall risk: avoid in wet weather and with young children. Thieving monkeys.
