Early Morning Bush Walk - North Central Trinidad

Image
I am no stranger to long distance walking (between 5 km and 10 km). I woke up and decided I had the energy and I had never walked along to the end of Warren Road, heading West, which gives direct views of the Northern Range and Caroni plains and planes descending into Piarco airport. It is a narrow road, so be cautious, if you ever have to walk that road. It is agriculture and empty land on both sides for the first 1 km. My walk took me from Warren Road onto Ajodha Road and Munroe Road and then back to the Southern main road. These are some photos from that walk.

Las Cuevas Beach - Trinidad

Image
I read that the name "Las Cuevas" is derived from the Spanish word for caves and that there are many caves on this beach. I didn't notice any caves but the road behind the beach is elevated and you do see the rock formations. I walked from one side of the beach to the other side of the beach and back and that was 4 km. I then walked up towards Fort Abercromby and then through the village and then back on the beach. Another 2 km. There is a school and health center and fishing depot. Around Fort Abercromby is a nice hiking trail. The sandy shore is wide with plenty area to setup beach chairs and picnic blankets. Parking is limited and the earlier you set out to get there the less traffic you should encounter.

Mount Saint Benedict - Trinidad

Image
I visited Mount Saint Benedict twice. Once last year and once this year. It is located in the Northern Range. There is a taxi stand at the bottom of the mountain on the corner of St. Johns Road - St. Augustine. Some taxis will take you to the monastery but you can opt to wait for the shuttle. To come back down you will have to wait for the shuttle or a taxi that comes to drop someone. There is a cafe and gift shop. There is also a guest house. If you are feeling adventurous you can walk it. As always, please consider your safety and especially in unknown places or travelling alone.
