Description
Begin with hotel pickup in Port of Spain, then travel through Central Trinidad’s flat plains and rolling hills. Pass through island villages and stop for a drink or fresh fruit from a local stand.
Arrive in Chaguanas to visit a busy produce market and bazaar. Visit a local Hindu temple complex, featuring a towering statue of the god Hanuman— the largest outside India— and a bright pink temple known for its unique appearance. The region’s East Indian heritage is visible in many temples and prayer flags.
After some free time and lunch suggestions, continue to Pitch Lake. The lake’s surface resembles elephant skin but is a natural asphalt deposit nearly 250 feet (75 meters) deep. Explore the site with your guide to learn about its formation and significance.
