Amazing Hiking Spots in Trinidad and Tobago

Paria Waterfalls

A 120 minute walk through the forest from the north coast village of Blanchisseuse will take you to Paria Beach. This is a predominantly coastal hike that begins on a gravel road and then continues along a forest trail. The hike has a series of uphill and downhill portions interspersed with beautiful views of the Caribbean Sea. The end result is the breath-taking view of the Paria Waterfall, one of Trinidad's most talked about falls.

Matura Waterfalls

The Matura Waterfall/Manuelot Falls is best known for its unique folds of limestone that serves as a backdrop for the clear water flowing over its edge. This cool, clear water meets to form a wide pool at the base which is suitable for bathing. Though the trek is a challenging three hour hike that goes through Mora forest, the destination is one worth travelling far and wide for.

Rampanalgas

For the less adventurous hikers, this is fortunately a short hike of approximately twenty minutes, without steep hill climbs, to a two level waterfall. It forms small deep pools that are suitable for swimming. On most weekends as you approach the waterfall you can hear the shouts of delight from the neighborhood children bathing in the pools.

Argyle Waterfalls

Argyle Waterfall is a scenic 25 kilometre drive from Scarborough, the capital of Tobago. The trail abounds with a breathtaking variety of butterflies, spiders, lizards, snakes and bursts of wild blossoms such as orchids, mimosa and heliconia. This hike is one of the less challenging routes however the cool, refreshing water and beautiful falls are surprisingly amazing,

There are many more beautiful natural gems, gently tucked away in the far corners of Trinidad and Tobago. One only has to pack a bag and take the journey with loved ones to enjoy all that the islands have to offer!
