El Tucuche
El Tucuche, at 936 meters, is the second-highest mountain in Trinidad's Northern Range. It's known for its unique pyramidal form. It is said to be a holy mountain in Amerindian mythology. Amerindian petroglyphs may be seen on a rocky outcropping below the mountain. Archaeologists have only discovered these petroglyphs in the nation.
Elfin woodland can be found on the peak of El Tucuche. Due to the high height, cloud exposure, and prevailing winds, the vegetation is frequently twisted and short. The community of Lluengo, which has a population of around 2,000 people, is located at the foot of the mountain.
Hikers frequently climb El Tucuche. The first peak reaches a height of almost 2,000 feet (800 meters) and features a 1000-foot sheer-vertical cliff. The second and tallest top is pyramid-shaped and stands at nearly 3,000 feet (936 meters). When there are no clouds, the top offers views of the nation's capital, Port Of Spain, the Caroni Swamp, and the Main Ridge. Maracas Beach may also be seen from the hilltop.
