8 Nature & Parks in Port of Spain That You Shouldn't Miss

October 21, 2021 Fernanda Pittenger

Port of Spain, the capital of Trinidad and Tobago, has the tall buildings, neon lights and crowded streets of many cities, but also a multicultural Caribbean character and a homegrown calypso soundtrack. The best-known occasion is the flamboyant pre-Lenten Carnival. Among the city's other offerings are cricket and football matches, year-round festivals, a botanic garden, malls, an art and history museum and historic buildings. Entertainment options abound, but be cautious after dark.

Maracas Beach

This popular beach spot fulfills the fantasy of the ideal Caribbean beach, but is just as famous for the scenic rainforest drive that must be made to reach it.

Always a blast. The most popular beach on the island. It's absolutely beautiful. Go for a walk, have something to eat, dance all under the watchful eyes of the skilled life guards. Just go, you won't regret it.

Caroni Swamp

Reviewed By maryellenbradley - Olympia, United States

This is a once in a life time experience. The scarlet ibis fly in to roost in islands S in the swamp. They come by the thousands. It is truly amazing to watch. We also saw blue herons, hawks, an osprey, great white heron, long nosed bat, snowy egrets, flamingos and a silky anteater. It was a perfect day

Queen's Park Savannah

This park features mansions from the Spanish colonial era, interesting stores and street vendors.

Reviewed By gaytreemaharaj

The Queen’s Park Savannah is always full of energy with something always happening. The vendors sell the best food and you can get the freshest coconuts around the Savannah. You can get a great workout by walking or jogging around the biggest roundabout in the world and do some sightseeing all at once, since some of Trinidad’s magnificent seven buildings, including castles are located around the Savannah.

Emperor Valley Zoo

Reviewed By sherisseaarti

Within recent years the zoo has improved dramatically, in addition to gaining new attractions the facilities are constantly being improved. Alot of maps placed on walk paths ensure, you know where you are, lots of seating and clean bathrooms are some of the fantastic amenities. The animals are well tended and the enclosures are cleaned frequently. All of the staff we encountered were friendly and willing to share their knowledge about their animals. It is a lovely zoo that is really always trying to improve. Always worth a visit!

Maracas Falls

Reviewed By DeNielNovella

Escape the hustle and bustle and smoggy air and heat as you journey into the Maracas Valley to the Maracas Waterfall. The air is literally lighter, cooler and just plain refreshing. and easy hike, 20 min in from the trail head with slight to moderate incline. Be rewarded at the end of your journey with a nice cool refreshing bath at the falls and an amazingly epic view.
