Normally I am terrified of heights, but after hearing all the hype surrounding rappelling, I was adamant to not let fear hold me back. This turned out to be an experience that greatly impacted my life. Rappelling is the method of descending a vertical rock face by means of a double rope passed under the thigh and over the opposite shoulder. 

The sight may look daunting, to begin with, descending a 90ft wall, but it's one of the most thrilling activities you will ever do. Trust me, this rappelling adventure experience will put you into that moment of feeling WOW! I remembered being so scared to take that step over the edge of the cliff, but once I did it was euphoric. I am so glad I didn't back out and was able to face one of my fears. 


You have to be careful of not hurting your knees as most of the weight falls on that part of your body, but don't worry your safety is guaranteed. Don't be hesitant in communicating with the guides; they are there to direct you and monitor your descent safely to the ground below. No prior experience is required and all rappelling equipment is provided by the experienced guides, as well as additional pointers during the entire rappel session.

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...
