Discover Trinidad’s hidden waterfall on a scenic rainforest hike. Swim in a plunge pool, relax on rocks, and savor Maracas Beach’s famous Bake & Fish.
- Maracas Bay - After a brief drive through Port of Spain and its suburbs, we arrive at the picturesque North Coast Road in the Northern Range. Here, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the Paramin hills and lush rainforest. Upon reaching the Caribbean Sea, we take a 10-minute stop at the Maracas Lookout, which offers a spectacular ocean view. Delicious local snacks are available for purchase here (not included in the cost). A short drive brings us to Trinidad’s most popular beach, Maracas Bay, surrounded by lush, green, rainforest-covered mountains and lined with coconut trees.
- Avocat Waterfall - Continuing our drive past the tranquil Las Cuevas Bay, we travel through Blanchisseuse, a long, picturesque village, before reaching our final destination: a tiny village in the rainforest (approximately 2 hours total drive). We walk through the rainforest to a small river, which we cross. We then hike along a flat riverbed, admiring the natural beauty around us. We eventually reach the stunning 65-foot waterfall with a large bathing pool. The cool atmosphere is perfect for relaxing and taking a dip in the plunge pool. Let the waterfall spray massage your shoulders! This is the picture-perfect waterfall you may have dreamed of!
- Las Cuevas Beach - Upon returning to base, there is a basic changing facility at the car park. Our next stop is either Las Cuevas or Maracas Bay for more views—or even another swim if time permits. You should definitely try the famous “Bake & Fish” in Maracas, a hot, crispy fish sandwich with homemade bread. There are many different sauces to choose from, but beware of the very hot pepper!

A two hour drive along the scenic North Coast past the villages of Maracas & Blanchisseuse will bring us to the starting point of the hike: a tiny village in the remote rainforest. This hike is easy and takes approximately 45 minutes one way. You hike along and inside a shallow river to the most amazing waterfall of approximately 65 ft, with a large plunge pool for bathing. After some relaxing time on the big rocks or a refreshing bath - with a nice head-massage from the falls - you then return to the base. Basic changing facilities are provided. You are then taken to the popular Maracas Beach for a delicious “Bake & Fish” sandwich (not included in cost) and another swim (optional).
