The legend of the 3 waterfalls
Today it is possible to go to Tiarei’s village in order to admire this water gushing out from the rock of the Faarumai 3 waterfalls. The starting point of the walk is located 17 km away in the North West of Papeete. You will have to walk about 15 minutes to discover them deep in the valley. On your way, you will be surrounded by a luxuriant vegetation typical of Tahiti : banana, coconuts, coffee, mango and guava trees. You will also see a taro, manioc and watercress plantation. At the bottom of the waterfalls, there are some observation platforms to fully enjoy this natural show. When going back to the car park, don’t hesitate to walk through the bamboos border to the water….
