On this trip from Port of Spain, we'll visit the famous Temple in the Sea at Waterloo and La Brea Lake, two of the biggest tourist attractions in Trinidad & Tobago.

Description

At the scheduled time, we will collect you from your chosen hotel in Port of Spain to begin our journey south. After an hour-long journey, we will reach San Fernando, the second-largest city in Trinidad & Tobago. We will continue for another 30 kilometres (18.6 miles) until we arrive at La Brea Lake, also known as Pitch Lake.

La Brea is a natural asphalt deposit that reaches a depth of almost 80 metres (262 ft.). Various animals inhabit this unique ecosystem. We will then proceed to the town of Carapichaima to visit the Temple in the Sea at Waterloo, a Hindu sanctuary honoring numerous deities. Here, we will explain the history of this non-Christian temple in Trinidad & Tobago.

Nearby is the statue of Lord Hanuman, the largest Hindu statue outside of India. We will discuss its significance and the reasoning behind its location in the Caribbean. The excursion will end after 8 hours back at the hotels in Port of Spain.
