Exploring a 200 Acre Estate & Hike to a 100 Yr. old Pool - Trinidad

On this two-series episode of DRE TV, we took to the mountains of Santa Cruz, Trinidad to explore the 200 acre Las Hermanas Estate. This cocoa & coffee estate is rich in history & consists of lush forest spreading from Santa Cruz to Maracas, and includes a burst of exotic wildlife, unique plants, insects, cocoa and other amenities including rivers and a 100 year old man-made dam. So much to explore...so little time, so stay tuned for a part 2. This is an absolute favourite that you must check out!

Thanks to my buddy Jesse Sorzanno for making this trek to explore & film.
Thanks to Mr. Wayne Hutchinson for granting permission to film on the estate.

Hi, is Wayne H. Son of Gail Hutchinson, who went to St. Andrews School with me. I am 76. Beautiful Estate, and your wonderful tour. Please show the WC’s by the cabins. Great work you are doing. Thanks , Joyce Hill who left for Canada, 1963. I love your description on the videos.

My favorite parts were learning about and seeing the raccoon. Also the potential of a brand new species of lizard, the picture of which was amazing.

[@denisetinto1828]

Thank you DRE TV and the owner of the estate, for shearing this gem with us, whenever I return to T&T i will love to bring my family to see this, Anthony from Canada.

Hello, there is a perfectly round pool around .40 secs in this video. Can you tell me where this is located. It's very beautiful. Great and informative video.

[@DRETV_TT]

Good morning. This is covinge river gorge located in Macqueripe road.

[@carlislec.9245]

Nice..

[@Tr3s8683]

Is there an entrance fee to get into this place? I know for sure there’d be a pay and book system for the cabin but to just do the hike

[@DRETV_TT]

I think so, but WhatsApp Wayne and he would guide you.

Dre how on earth he got 200 acres of land .. where is the proof? from santa cruz to maracas he say? something wrong in Trinidad yes...

[@DRETV_TT]

Was an old plantation, passed down in family. Back in those days, it was the norm to own large pieces of land.

[@seanwharton9010]

@@DRETV_TT thanks Dre… things like that should have been mentioned in the Trinidad Diaspora.. you have great content I must say but those couple of statements I had to respond too, again great content, and keep up the GREAT work!!

@5:25 that's the infinity pool? A half ah tank? LMAO at least put a Copper instead

[@Tr3s8683]

I think infinty pools have more to do with it being suspended and not on flat ground, over what the pool is made of. Cuz tbh that pool’s view is nicer than all those pools in westmoorings put together.

[@andrewgoberdhan8433]

Hi Dre greetings from To,amazing video by the way. I am originally from Trinidad but left very young to further my studies and I must say I am blown away by our natural beauty and pristine nature that I did not know exit in our beautiful twin islands. No wonder tourists from all over the globe seeks this type of wildlife and natural habitat. Continue to showcase our biodiversity and let the world know how truly bless we are as a nation. Next time I am visiting I will definitely come to the estate and stay at one of the cabins ,truly amazing footage keep exploring my brother. Take care
