MARACAS ST.JOSEPH WATERFALL | TALLEST WATERFALL IN TRINIDAD | GOOD FOR BEGINNER HIKERS & WORTH IT !!

Today we ventured into the forest of Maracas St. Joseph to the tallest waterfall in Trinidad. We used waze as our navigation to find the road leading us to the falls.
Maracas Waterfall is one of the most accessible waterfalls on the island. The scenery offers breathtaking natural beauty. You can access it via Waterfall Road in Maracas Valley in St. Joseph. Once there, the walk should take you no longer than 25 minutes...but be sure instead to walk slowly and let your senses come alive to remarkable scenes of nature. The variety of tree species ranges from Poui to Immortels, to Mahot and much more. There is an explosion of colour in every nook, corner and up every tree.
My name is Alan Charles (The Trini Surfer) and I am here to show you the beauty of my country TRINIDAD & TOBAGO!

Good job on this video hope you guys take the trail on your right just as to hike towards the waterfall. After the fountain of youth that leads to a beautiful waterfall pools its epic. Balata falls. Worth checking out. Visited the falls twice this year and those garbage hasn't been picked up. So please people do your part and take the trash with you. Thanks for a great video. People need to appreciate their own. Other countries preserve the nature wonders yet people tend to litter and discard their dirty habit in the clean outdoors. Come on we need to improve in our behavior and attitude towards ourselves and to others.

[@jadea.2694]

I saw the overflowing bin, I wonder if the Regional Corporation is responsible to disposing of the garbage. Also the users of the area could very well see that the bin was filled to the brim yet they still added more garbage to it. It is a pity that people do not use their common sense, they are all lacking pride in the environment. My daughter's school do their part in teaching the children to dispose of garbage responsibly but after recess and lunch she said there will be garbage strewn throughout the school yard.

[@shawnrajkumar8624]

Mum &Iris took me on this hike. It is in St Joseph pass her and where George Ward use to live. Mum stored most if her cutlery, cockery, bed and other furniture at his house. Their house was almost empty so they were glad to oblige and mum told them They could use the stuff. Of course we never claimed it so it is their gain

Visited this fall over thirty years ago with students on a field trip was amazing and still is.The only thing the trail looks different there were a lot of citrus along the way and snakes wrapped around some trees. Thanks Alan and Jono for taking us along was enjoyable as usual.

[@Trini_Surfer]

Thanks for sharing!

[@Kimmy_95]

My cousins live in Maracas St. Joseph area. A whole group of them hiked there. At that time of the year, the water was high due to the rain that day & you could see beautiful, small fishes. This was almost 22 years ago, I was around 5 at the time and cried like a baby from the beginning of the hike to the end LOL🤣I didn't like to walk, didn't like d bush or mud (the place was wet that day). I was too young/naive to appreciate the beauty of NATURE but when I look at this vid it brings back memories of the beauty of this place. I remember sitting on a rock by the waterfall and the view was stunning....one day I'll visit this BEAUTIFUL site again & truly appreciate it. THANKS again for sharing all your adventures with us. 👍 Take care
