Rochester falls is found in the south of the island at the cross point of the villages Souillac and Saint Aubin. The best feature of the falls is of its lava cliffs: years and years of erosion has led to the formation of a spectacular backdrop of rectangular blocks stuck together (they look more like aligned rectangular blocks protruding out at weird angles!). The water falls down a height of 10 metres through the rocky beds of the Savanne River in thick white foam but with gentle gurgling sounds.
A few benches have been placed under the shade of some trees so that visitors can sit down and enjoy the peaceful environment. Rochester falls is not a big business area; at times some people selling fruits and other artisanal items such as bracelets can be seen. It is a common place for the youngsters of the villages to hang around and cliff dive into the small calm pool. If you are going into the south of the island, the Rochester falls is worth a visit if only for its strange looking cliffs, you can also have a very refreshing swim as the water is very clear and calm, just be careful of the rocks!
