Paria Waterfall
The secluded Paria Waterfall can be accessed by hiking trail through Blanchisseuse or Matelot, or by boat. The journey provides breathtaking views of stacks, arches, caves, and other natural formations along the coastline. The option starts at the Blanchisseuse Spring Bridge, through the North Coast Forest, over uphill climbs and downhill slides, across Paria Beach, and ends with a short trek to the Paria Waterfall after hiking for approximately two and a half hours. Although some hikers have regarded the hiking level as strenuous, it is doable even for inexperienced hikers and first-timers. During this coastal hike, travelers will come across a majestic 50ft peninsula known as Turtle Rock. Its name is derived from the green and marine turtles that frequent the surrounding Caribbean Sea. This spot looked at the coast and is an ideal backdrop for pictures.
The Paria Waterfall is a refreshingly short walk 15 minutes inland from scenic Paria Beach. Following the river located at the eastern end of the beach, one comes across one of the most remarkable hidden waterfalls. Clean, clear, pristine waters of the Northern Range tumbles over 10ft of rocks into a refreshing and blissful plunge pool, to rejuvenate the body and mind for the hike out. The Paria Waterfall is the ending point for the Paria River, which works its way down the rainforest-covered slopes of the Northern Range. After about an hour or two of hiking, depending on the visitor's speed, they will reach the lovely beach at Paria Bay. It's just a short walk from the beach to the waterfalls. At the base of the waterfalls at Paria is a large, deep, and clear pool that is ideal for swimming. This is an indispensable name in the list of the most beautiful waterfalls in Trinidad and Tobago.
