Angel Fall
Angel Falls is a beautiful 50 -foot waterfall tucked away in the lush rainforest of Trinidad’s Northern Range. Flowing into cool, natural pools surrounded by rich tropical vegetation, the Falls offer a refreshing escape into nature.
Bamboo Cathedral
The Bamboo Cathedral is a 300 metre stretch of roadway where the bamboo stalks bend towards each other above the road, forming arcs reminiscent of cathedrals. Several watercolours by Michael Jean Cazabon (b. 1813 d. 1888), Trinidad’s great nineteenth century artist and National Hero, were painted on this trace, now known as Cazabon Trail. The “Cathedral” has remained the same for over 150 years, and is now a popular trail for casual hikers, nature lovers and families looking to enjoy the outdoors. Cazabon Trail meets the main Tucker Valley Road on the way to Macqueripe Bay. The gently-upward-sloping trail leads to a satellite tracking station overlooking the picturesque Macqueripe Bay.
Caroni Swamp Bird Sanctuary
Experience the thrill of motor-boating through a maze of mangrove lined waterways in the Caroni Swamp, home of the exotic Scarlet Ibis, National Bird. This journey gives the opportunity to experience mammals, reptiles, marine organisms and many species of birds.
Damien’s Bay
Damien Bay is a stunning and secluded coastal gem nestled along Trinidad’s lush North Coast, just past Maracas Bay. This beach is famous for its calm shaded liming spots and small river, it is a favorite quiet retreat for surfers, nature lovers, and eco-tourists.
Gasparee Caves
Escape on a boat ride to the Island of Gaspar Grande, an old whaling station, where you can find one of the easily accessible limestone caves in Trinidad and Tobago. 100 feet underground, visitors to Gasparee Caves can witness the natural wonders, sinkholes and the crystal pool with sunlight dappling on the aquamarine waters. Outside the caves, visitors may encounter many different bird species such as the yellow-headed parrot, the rufous-necked woodrail, the yellow-headed caracara and the streaked saltator.
Maracas Bay
Probably the most popular beach in Trinidad is Maracas Bay on the north coast, a winding 30-minute drive along the mountainside from the capital city, Port-of-Spain. Visitors enjoy the panoramic vistas of the palm-fringed beach with its energetic waves. No visit to Maracas Bay is complete without a trip to a bake and shark vendor. The delicious sandwiches are fried bread filled with seasoned fried-fillets, vegetables, fruit and an assortment of condiments ranging from sweet to very spicy.
Fort George
In 1804, under the direction of the then British Governer, Brigadier-General Sir Thomas Hislop, a series of complex military fortifications were built on the North-western hills overlooking the stunning Gulf of Paria to protect the Port of Spain from any perceived military threats. Defensive activities not being required beyond this, in 1846 the site ceased to be a military establishment. An intricate, wooden signal station, designed by Prince Kofi Nti, son of King Kofi Calcali of Ashantee West Africa was later built in 1833, sharply contrasting the formidable characteristics of the fort. The site came to be known as Fort George (formerly La Vigie) and continues to offer visitors spectaular, panoramic views of Port of Spain in addition to views of its original cannons, dungeons and artefacts.
