Gasparee Caves

Become an explorer and take a descend 100 feet underground and walk through a magnificent system of natural limestone caves on the island of Gasper Grande, once used by both pirates and smugglers to hide their treasures. Imagine the glistening gems just lying in wait for you to discover.

The sightseeing trip to the island is an adventure in itself as the only transport is by boat! It is a 25-minute boat trip from Port of Spain or 15 minutes from Chaguaramas. On your way, you will have a chance to see sea creatures, such as dolphins, bopping in and out of the water: a truly magnificent sight to behold. It beckons you to keep unfolding the unimaginable. 


What makes this cave so appealing is the unique translucent blue pond at the bottom, which has a depth of 10-20 feet and entices the natural observer. Seawater emerges into the cave through an underground source to form a natural clear water pool. The turquoise blue water invites you to jump in and take a swim. Although swimming is officially prohibited if you are lucky your guide may allow you to take a quick dip - which is an awe-inspiring experience for those so lucky. Take a glimpse of this visionary beauty that is Gasparee Caves. These pictures don't even come close to reality.




Let your imagination roam while you walk among the numerous stalactites and stalagmites which have been given nicknames such as "The Buddha", "Virgin Mary" and "The Lovers". If you tap the various sizes and shapes of the formations, you can even hear the different pitches. Why not make your own music! I know I did!

I can only think of one word to define my experience at this Cave. Indescribable!!

Don't pass on this adventure. Prearrange a tour with the Chaguaramas Development Authority (CDA) as you set your sights on experiencing one of Trinidad's beloved caves. It will definitely leave you speechless.

Cabin at the Pines

Cabin at the Pines is the perfect Eco-lover getaway location. A stunning handcrafted wooden cabin, located in a very secluded and private area in St. Anns, sits within half an acre of flat land surrounded by a forest of Caribbean pine that affords marvelous views down to Port of Spain and inland over the hills that surround Port of Spain. Just as how any getaway should be, away from the crowd. This dreamy cabin offers such serenity that you would expect it to be out in the deep of the forest, but this is not the case. Trust me, I was lost for words upon arrival. I could not believe that this little piece of heaven existed in Trinidad. Who would have known? The drive to the cabin is nothing short of an adventure, but the mountain road is very steep and as a result, I would strongly recommend that you use a four wheel drive - anything short of this is a no go. This spot makes it great for weddings, parties, baby showers, teas, dinners, limes and any other entertainme...

Bamboo Cathedral

Image
Let's take a look at another unique feature of Trinidad's landscape that surely confirms that true beauty can be found in the most inconspicuous places. Tucked away in a forested area of Chaguaramas, one can observe an expanse known as the Bamboo Cathedral.  For years, this setting has been a popular destination for people to experience the splendour of  Mother Nature. The view is, even more, breath-taking when having a pleasant stroll at twilight.  What makes this place one of Trinidad's most popular destinations is the stretch of roadway that cuts through the dense vegetation, transporting visitors into a landscape of soaring bamboo stalks that bend towards each other above the roadway forming arches reminiscent of those found in cathedrals. The roadway is approximately 300m long and is accessible directly from Tucker Valley Road, Chaguaramas. Its generous width accommodates both pedestrians and cyclists, allowing people to experience the landscape at thei...
