The Siete Altares — seven small waterfalls and natural pools — are the main day excursion from Livingston. The walk there follows the Caribbean coastline north of town through palm forest and past Black sand beaches, taking about 45 minutes to an hour each way. The pools themselves are clear and cool, fed by a small river cascading down through limestone formations.
The trail starts at the north end of Livingston's beach. Go in the morning before the tour groups arrive. The lower pools are easily reached; the upper pools require a bit of scrambling over rocks. Bring water and wear shoes you don't mind getting wet.
