There are many horse riding tours offered by guys in the streets of Trinidad, however I recommend you book with Jojanny. Lovely, friendly guide who clearly looks after his horses compared to other ones we saw with other tours. Safety equipment is provided, and the tour includes a stop at a coffee farm and a sugarcane farm as well as, of course, the waterfall. These stops give you the chance to really immerse in the local, rural community and try things you wouldn’t normally. The route Jojanny took us on was also very scenic and away from the crowds of other tours and the tour was extremely good value for money!! Gracias Jojanny!!

This was a great trip into the mountains. Climate totally different. Rain and cool. A nice change from the heat.

Spent the morning here as part of our tour. We had the use of a knowlegeable local guide, who pointed out the local flora and fauna. Over a rope bridge, following a river, sometimes the path is smooth and flat, other times climbing up some gentle rocky hills, around 4-5 kilometres each way. Stopped in an isolated farmers hut midway for a cup of brew. The destination is a waterfall, rockpool and the chance to do a spot of swimming before heading back. Very enjoyable easy paced ramble through some delightful countryside. On return to the start, we had a buffet style lunch, with some very sweet coffee.

We took a day trip from Trinidad and it was one of the highlights of the holiday. There are iguanas everywhere, so plenty of photo opportunities, along with cute little tree rats who were particularly friendly, funnily enough, during lunch! The beach is breathtakingly beautiful and peaceful. If you’ve got a day to spare, you should definitely head here.

Beautiful Ancon beach! Calm warm waters, three klms of white sand to walk enjoying the southing breeze, the murmur of the sea and the scorching sun. Don’t mis the white crayfish digging caves in the sand. Crowded on Sundays with the locals having BBQ, not so much on weekdays. Take a couple sandwiches, a big bottle of juice or water, your favorite book and head for the beach. The restaurants at the hotels are for customers only – people staying all inclusive - and the kiosks where food is sold can be very expensive. If you are staying in Trinidad, the beach it’s only 15 klms away, you can take the Tourist Double deck Bus downtown Trinidad, make sure to keep your ticket for the return trip, and it will take you there in about 45 minutes. The timetables are posted on the windshield of the bus, most tourists take a photo with their cellphone to remember the times. The first bus leaves Trinidad for the beach at 9am; the last one returning to the city leaves the beach at 6pm, not recommended it can be very noisy and crowded. You may also take a “collective Taxi,” up to four people. If you are taken by the tranquility, the calming sound of the waves, and the tranquility that surrounds you and want to see the sunset be sure to arrange for a taxi to pick you up; after 6pm. there’s no bus service to Trinidad. There’s a Coral Reef nearby and boats to take you there diving or snorkeling; they are available at the kiosk beside the Coco Bar; pedal boats can also be rented with guides aboard. The blue seats on the sand are for Hotel guests only however you may rent them or walk up to the far side of the beach and use the Palm-Huts that are free. Enjoy a sunset at the beach it could be unforgettable.

Took the steam train from Trinidad through the valley. It is not that far a trip in miles but the train is pretty slow so you leave at 9.30am and are not back until just after 3pm. I enjoyed the slow pace though as you got to take in the countryside and everything that was happening outside your window - and could take photos at your leisure. The stops were also nicely varied whereby you could go up the slave watch-tower or just stroll around the stalls/shops at the first one, then experience the living museum sugar mill at the second then have a bit of chill time at the ranch/estate of the last stop or go for a horseback ride if you prefer. Was actually much more to do and see than I had thought.

Instead of following most tourists to Ancon beach (where I've been before and loved) we took an old american car taxi to La Boca (4km) where there is a nice beach, and lots of little chiringuita's where i had the best paella ever.
