Description

Begin in the “doubles capital” and sample popular curry-flavored East Indian Trinidadian street foods to energize your day. Avoid a large breakfast to enjoy the food stops fully.

Take an easy 45-minute hike to the Mud Volcano, a large circular pool with bubbling clay material and active vents. The warm mud is said to rejuvenate the skin and offers a unique bathing experience. Hair and face do not need to be covered.

Continue with a 30 to 45-minute hike to a secluded beach, ideal for rinsing off the mud before returning to the vehicle for the drive back to your hotel.

Additional Information
