Are you tell me, that you took time out to contact google maps to get this place on the map. What about the Jamaican tourism board 🤦♂️. Thanks Irene for promoting Jamaica 🇯🇲
Jamaican Tourist Board cannot add things to google maps, because for that they will need to register as Local Guide with gmail account, would be strange for a Government agency I guess :)
You can do that to. Google loves people to help. You will even gets credits and incentive. Taking pictures where you go and post them on Google. I do that.
@@Jazz-pu1qw Yep, anyone can do that, however, there is a difference between adding pictures to places that already exist on Google maps and actually adding the place itself. If you're adding a business - it's easy, if you're the owner - just prove the address, but if it's a historical landmark - you need to prove to Google that it's a genuine place, its historical background and that the location is where you say it is. Google denied my addition first, that's why it took longer than usual.
Wow! We never ever heard of this waterfall. This Place is definitely a Hiking trip...Thanks to your determination in getting it recognized by Google maps. Great work Irina! So Awesome!
I hope that this place remains as it is, untouched and hard to get to. I think turning it into an attraction will ruin the magic of this place. Getting there should be half the adventure and hiring a local guide from the nearby town can still help support locals. Just my 2 cents 🤑🤑
Yes, getting there currently is a part of the adventure, which would be lost if the place becomes commercial, that's why I don't have a clear opinion on the situation and using this platform to get ideas from others! :))) Thank you for sharing! Much appreciated!
St. Mary is my birth parish. We also have a spring water reserve up in the bushes closer to my immediate home simply called "Tank". The last thing we need is it going commercial.
Thank you Irina for taking the time to contact Google in order to get Tacky Falls on the map. You are so adventurous, and your videos are always exciting and informative. My opinion about the Falls is to leave it as it is, so that it can be an adventure for people who loves to experience thrills with little or no budget. Once you start to charge to get to the fall, even if the admission fee is minimal, eventually the price will go up and this will exclude people who are on a small budget. It would be good though, if the government could fix up the trail so it wouldn't be that dangerous
This is outstanding work....honestly I vote to let it stay hidden...I think the fact that its hidden maintains the beauty, the mystery and the history of Tacky Falls
I vote for it to be kept a hidden treasure. Some things are best left as they are. Thanks for showing it to us though, but commercialization may also cause it to be abused.
She is revealing too much, just like some who have revealed a lot of things in Hawaii, which has ruined, desecrated and overcrowd many places of beauty that has the locals pissed. It's all about money and fame for her white self. Shouldn't she get the rights first from the Ministry of Tourism? Oh, the love of money.
@@luanaspa4400 I get what you're saying but there's no need to be mean just because you don't agree with what she is doing. As Jamaicans we need to move away from behaving adversarial when we are in disagreement with others ideas and actions. Just state your piece. No need to attack sis. One Love.
This. This is what nature lovers were looking for. If I knew this exists i would of recommend this. You would be surprised questions I get regarding non tourist excursions. Lots people want privacy and living on the edge and this is it. A little dangerous yes but worthwhile
*Irina* is quickly becoming one of *Jamaica's* national treasures herself.... I appreciate the informative incites and history lesson you gives us each week....Thanks 😊 🙏 🇯🇲👍
Thanks so much for contributing all these wonderful videos of Jamaica. You are making my decision to move with my Jamaican husband to his home much easier.😊
I agree with you my dear brother Clive, please leave Tacky Falls as is. Maybe adventurous visitors can contribute to the town's economy by hiring locals to accompany their group.
Thank you, but technically - this is not a tourist spot, so... not mentioned in the tourism sector 🤷♀️ The question is if it should be in the tourism sector or not 🤔
I love waterfalls. I've seen them in zwitserland and walked in the rivers under the falls. And the sound it can make is great. I would LOVE too visit some waterfalls in Jamaica. Thnx for a great video again. Love ur video's. greetings ❤👍
My dear you’re a true ambassador for JA, I’ve never heard of of this place , I was born in JA and I’ve lived abroad for several years, I do know of most places in JA, but certainly never heard of this particular place, I am really getting lessons about JA from you. 😁😁 thank you.
Another great vlog Irena, you deserve an oscar after tackling that hilly climb and slippery slopes. you climb to that fall like a pro. enlisting two handsome police men in the adventure, you are the lady indeed.
Ahha )))) By the way, I still haven't thanked the policemen who went with us on that very first adventure back in 2016. I'll try to find them next time I go there and share the video with them :)))
Great job, as usual! You may also want to check out Kwame Falls near Carlton (black sand) Beach not very far from here. It's a long hike from Robins Bay but should be worth your while
Wow. Well done. I'd heard, maybe just once of Tacky Falls but was told it was too hard to get to and to stick with the well-known ones. I've enjoyed Dunn's River, Mayfield and Reach Falls so far, but not YS or Laughing Waters. Hopefully one day soon. Tacky Falls should be made more open and more safely accessible, yes, but in the most forward thinking, eco-minded way, with respect to all that history there and the nature and the local people of course as well. I know Jamaicans are up to developing this new national treasure of theirs and showcasing it to the world, and you Irini are taking your place in Jamaican history as a pioneer, a frontier woman of modern times with your videos, knowledge, love and passion for Jamaica. I picture a live feed on a website, updating and predicting flow conditions for visitors. I didn't know Jamaica has 100 waterfalls as I'd never thought of a number before but I'm glad you're saying that because it widens our perspective and deepens our appreciation of the real Land of Wood and Water. Jamaica was never connected to any other landmass, unlike the other islands of the Caribbean. I don't think we can repeat this fact enough.
Thank you Irina. I've have heard of this falls but had no idea where it was on the island. Fantastic, thank you for showcasing this, Irina. You are brilliant. (I have named you Jamaica's encyclopedia.) On whether to develop this falls... I would say just create a hiking trail and better roads to get to it, but no major development that would invariably leads to the distruction of natural habitat.
I am gobsmacked because I have never heard of Tacky Falls. I totally agree that because of it's historical significance it would be of great educational value to managed this living magnificent gem in a eco friendly way to teach the public of it's very important contribution to Jamaican history. I wonder what other geological gems that are hidden away that we are not yet aware of?
Actually, I was wondering why Tacky wasn't made a National Hero in Jamaica, and then I read about his "dark side". It is said that he was a slave trader in Ghana, maybe that's why he wasn't made a hero and they don't teach about him at school? 🤔 On the other hand, regardless of his past before he was brought to Jamaica, he is still one of the key leaders who changed history and contributed to the abolition of slavery in the whole world, so I personally think he should be made a National Hero. I'm still working on finding all the original proofs to the information about Tacky, because I don't want to rely on what's currently available in open internet - there are no sources for some of the claims made, meaning some of them can be made up.
@@JAMAICAWITHIRIE none of our empowering history isn't taught in schools unfortunately. They only tell us the existing names of the national hero's and a skim of their history. There's no in depth info, much less to tell us anything about tacky. I had to do my own research about our JM & African history and great men & women. Marcus Garvey- A race without the knowledge of their history is like a tree without root's. And the leaders know this.
Leave them as they are! Tourists and natives alike can make it an adventure to get to Tacky falls. Maybe make markings on trees or stick flags for the trail, but do not make it a tourist attraction! Some things just need to stay natural. If after all these years no one has even made the effort (as you did) what difference would it make? There are ALREADY other waterfalls as tourist attractions.
Nice place, I grew up near by so it's somewhere I knew, I remember the story about taky the slave and his followers went over the falls and hid themselves into the cave, the slave masters thought they had died so they left, that's the most I remember.
Hi Irene, I was born in Jamaica and my late father was from St. Mary. I still have family there. The Parish has a lot of hidden treasured places. I vote to leave the falls as is.
Thanks for adding this historical site to Google Maps. I think it should be developed and there should be a reasonable charge for tourists but free of charge for Jamaicans.
👁👁 Tacky waterfall ... WOW ... Irina if you didn't mention Tacky's name like many others historical ancestors I would have totally forgotten about he .... I convinced girl you are the greatest🙏😊 because some places that you've been in Jamaica and bring to our attention it is just totally amazing and I must say it takes a special type of person to do what you do and we thank God🙏 that you are the one .... Now in regard to the question that you have asked if historical places like these should be highlighted !! ... well my answer to that is " YES 👍 " I do think that places like these should be publicly known because how else typical Jamaican like myself would know about it 👁👁 and also we have to remember that there are foreign entities out there such as certain Mining Company who doesn't give a "damn" about Jamaica's historical values or it's history and if they ever got the chance to historical places like these will be totally destroy in a twinkling of an eye ... Irina not only that but places like these with such a rough Terrain need to be developed so that tourists and locals who wish to visit can have proper access to these historical sites and to further add to that it will also provide job opportunities for some people in these Community such as tour guides and others .... Irina I really appreciate this video thank you for keeping it educational and positive ... Peace 💜🙏👍😊😄👌⭐✨🌠
I think that fall need to be developed into a tourist adventure spot. Maybe a few cabins for people who want to kinda camp out there for the night and nice little restaurant and lounge with some music. Interesting video again Iris 👌👌👌
I am happy that you have found another Jamaican treasure and understand the life blood of Jamaicans .... the rivers. Developing it would make it too touristy and when big companies or the government come in many locals are left out of the picture, even to the effect where they cant enjoy (go to it freely ) their rivers anymore. However I am not against a little bit of promotion or development on it. This could also remain as apart of " off the beaten track package that locals would manage, like be guides, maintenance and so forth.
@@JAMAICAWITHIRIE thank you so much! ❤ it's very new haha. Don't enjoy it as much as I enjoy writing, and video editing is something I'm working on, but I'm here and learning. I love your channel and how informative every video is 🙂🙏🏽 blessings!
Irena, You have done it again! I spent a # of years of my life in that part of the country. I thought I had full knowledge of that whole area. I've recently heard of Takie Falls and in my mind I thought it was in Portland or St Thomas never did I think of it been in St Mary. You have one up on me here. You're an explorer. Now that you have unearthed it, I think it's full time to show it off. I say make a proper trailway to it. It must be done in a way in which the environment is not too disturbed. Use rails to keep feet only on the pathways. 1/2 dozen cabins could be added for those who want to spend a night on edge 😁. So even when the fall is dry it would still be worth visiting. This would be a great boost to that area. I see s few new jobs to keep it well maintained. I say GO for this one. Keep up the good work.!
To be a tourist destination it needs to be made safe,managed by a company or UDC otherwise unscrupulous person would take advantage of tourists. Then the local community would benefit. Well done highlighting this little known falls.
I know of Tacky Falls. I appreciate you taking the time to put it on Google maps but still think it should be left alone. There are enough waterfalls to see without commercializing another one. Thanks for asking.
Tacky was not a warrior. He was more of youthful spiritual leader. Tacky and his friend Jamaica kicked off the Easter rebellion in St. Mary in 1760. Although Tacky was killed early in the rebellion by Maroons - the rebellion continued and spread. As a result the British establish obeah laws and Tacky’s head ended up on a pole in Spanish town. Thank you for the video.
Not true. "And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth."~ Genesis 9 verse 1. "So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city."~ Genesis 11 verse 8 Take care.
@@ParvaizRaja Hi Raja 👋🏾, That's fine that there are many and new written literature; there are many and new pieces of art, fashion, buildings, vehicles, phones and computers, recipes, names of water bottles (although it's still the same water 🤔 but I digress) all the time but it doesn't mean I'll be trying all of them either. I fell in love with the Author of the literature that I follow the Holy Bible and I have not regretted it yet. The Author whom I quoted from designed this world and told His creation {us} to *fill it* not once but twice He commanded it; once to the first humans Adam and Eve and a second time to the 10th generation from Adam and that would be Noah. Listen I don't want us to get into it right here on Irina's video and it's a beautiful video she has here and I really respect Irina and don't want for us to distract others from her video. I was simply just disagreeing with Freedom R, that's all. We can exchange emails if you'd like to continue away from here. Let me know.
@@LivingOnPurpose1 I said such a simple thing that it slipped your understanding because of its unimaginable simplicity. However, you rather check for "Abraham Hicks" on youtube to know what the great Author of your Bible and all other books of the kind is saying these days, than arguing with a person like me with a lack of command over the English language. Bless you
I have heard of this fall, but didn’t know where it was. But yes, tacky was based in ST Mary so it makes sense. I think there is a school named after him also. Yes, I think it should be developed for Echo tourism, the locals could earn an income from it. Thanks for showing, and getting it on the Google map.One love from NYC
As long as the revenue from the falls would be used to develop the community. I suspect the developers would siphon every penny in their bank accounts, just summising that would be the case.
@@gloriarobinson1869 , true but I was thinking of how the locals could benefit first. Yes we do know that developers would line their pockets first. One love from NYC.
@@johnl6838 I think the government should supervise the operation of this fall. If done properly there will be no stealing. The whole community would benefit while protecting the environment and preserving the history.
I'd leave it as is, unless proper funding and maintenance is assured for locals 'n tourists alike which includes lodgings within the community without disturbing its peace-of-mind.
Irina, you are so adventurous! Thanks for showing us this amazing place. I say leave the Falls as is! not everything has to be developed,
Are you tell me, that you took time out to contact google maps to get this place on the map. What about the Jamaican tourism board 🤦♂️. Thanks Irene for promoting Jamaica 🇯🇲

I'm glad you're giving Tacky Falls attention! I visited some years ago and loved it. Wrote a blog post about it
Oh, Rochelle! Adventures from Elle! I love your blog and wonderful writing skills! 💕💕💕 I didn't know you had a youtube channel :)
@@JAMAICAWITHIRIE thank you so much! ❤ it's very new haha. Don't enjoy it as much as I enjoy writing, and video editing is something I'm working on, but I'm here and learning. I love your channel and how informative every video is 🙂🙏🏽 blessings!
It should remain as it is. Let it remain a gem.
Irina you are the best..love your videos and love you too.
Thank you! 🥰
Irena,
You have done it again!
I spent a # of years of my life in that part of the country. I thought I had full knowledge of that whole area. I've recently heard of Takie Falls and in my mind I thought it was in Portland or St Thomas never did I think of it been in St Mary. You have one up on me here. You're an explorer. Now that you have unearthed it, I think it's full time to show it off.
I say make a proper trailway to it. It must be done in a way in which the environment is not too disturbed. Use rails to keep feet only on the pathways. 1/2 dozen cabins could be added for
those who want to spend a night on edge 😁. So even when the fall is dry it would still be worth visiting. This would be a great boost to that area. I see s few new jobs to keep it well maintained. I say GO for this one. Keep up the good work.!
Thank you for sharing the ideas, so much appreciated! Glad you like the video :)
👁👁👍👍👍
Your amazing & adorable my dear!
True words
Nice I definitely haven't seen these falls before
To be a tourist destination it needs to be made safe,managed by a company or UDC otherwise unscrupulous person would take advantage of tourists. Then the local community would benefit. Well done highlighting this little known falls.
Yes, that's very true! Thank you for sharing!
Another Super comment well done
My beautiful community !!! Can you do a video on the healthcare system in Jamaica?
Yes great topic!!!
Yes, will get to that topic at some point, working on getting interviews at hospitals.
@@JAMAICAWITHIRIE Thank you, I pray it goes well in your investigative research.
Thank you for adding the location, I will try to find it myself. 🙏🏿🇯🇲😊
Great job!
Amazing
I know of Tacky Falls. I appreciate you taking the time to put it on Google maps but still think it should be left alone. There are enough waterfalls to see without commercializing another one. Thanks for asking.
I think some things should be kept just for locals. Another great video Irie! BTW never heard of this place either and im born and raised jamaican.
Leaving them some things are best left alone
Tacky was not a warrior. He was more of youthful spiritual leader. Tacky and his friend Jamaica kicked off the Easter rebellion in St. Mary in 1760. Although Tacky was killed early in the rebellion by Maroons - the rebellion continued and spread. As a result the British establish obeah laws and Tacky’s head ended up on a pole in Spanish town. Thank you for the video.
Thanks Iriene.
Some things are best left alone. Humans don't need to trample on every square inch of this earth.
Not true.
"And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth."~ Genesis 9 verse 1.
"So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city."~ Genesis 11 verse 8
Take care.
@@LivingOnPurpose1 there are many new pieces of written literature that make more sense and relate better to today's mankind and nature.

Hi Raja 👋🏾,
That's fine that there are many and new written literature; there are many and new pieces of art, fashion, buildings, vehicles, phones and computers, recipes, names of water bottles (although it's still the same water 🤔 but I digress) all the time but it doesn't mean I'll be trying all of them either.
I fell in love with the Author of the literature that I follow the Holy Bible and I have not regretted it yet. The Author whom I quoted from designed this world and told His creation {us} to *fill it* not once but twice He commanded it; once to the first humans Adam and Eve and a second time to the 10th generation from Adam and that would be Noah.
Listen I don't want us to get into it right here on Irina's video and it's a beautiful video she has here and I really respect Irina and don't want for us to distract others from her video. I was simply just disagreeing with Freedom R, that's all.
We can exchange emails if you'd like to continue away from here. Let me know.
@@LivingOnPurpose1 I said such a simple thing that it slipped your understanding because of its unimaginable simplicity. However, you rather check for "Abraham Hicks" on youtube to know what the great Author of your Bible and all other books of the kind is saying these days, than arguing with a person like me with a lack of command over the English language. Bless you
@@ParvaizRaja 😂😂😂
More thank 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Irina, there is also 2 hidden falls in hanover name 5 fingers fall and cappa fall, very nice
Which community in Hanover?
@@RT_Podcast cappa is in mt peace and 5 fingers in maryland
@@carlingtonmorna4505 Thank you so much for sharing! I haven't filmed those falls yet! Will check them out 😊👍
I have heard of this fall, but didn’t know where it was. But yes, tacky was based in ST Mary so it makes sense. I think there is a school named after him also. Yes, I think it should be developed for Echo tourism, the locals could earn an income from it. Thanks for showing, and getting it on the Google map.One love from NYC
As long as the revenue from the falls would be used to develop the community. I suspect the developers would siphon every penny in their bank accounts, just summising that would be the case.
@@gloriarobinson1869 , true but I was thinking of how the locals could benefit first. Yes we do know that developers would line their pockets first. One love from NYC.
@@johnl6838
I think the government should supervise the operation of this fall.
If done properly there will be no stealing. The whole community would benefit while protecting the environment and preserving the history.
@@elizabethhall1527 yes that’s true and your points are valid.
I'd leave it as is, unless proper funding and maintenance is assured for locals 'n tourists alike which includes lodgings within the community without disturbing its peace-of-mind.
