Paria Waterfall is a breathtaking natural gem hidden along Trinidad’s north coast. The hike to the waterfall is an adventure in itself, typically starting from Blanchisseuse and taking about 2 to 3 hours each way. The trail is moderate, with some river crossings and hilly terrain, but the lush forest and scenic coastline make the journey worth it. On the day we visit rain fell so there was a lot of mud. It's approximately 30mins from Paria bay if accessing via boat. Once you arrive, the waterfall is a spectacular sight, cascading into a cool, refreshing pool perfect for a swim. The area is peaceful and untouched, making it a great reward after the long trek. Be sure to bring enough water, snacks, and proper footwear, as there are no facilities nearby. Whether you're hiking or taking a boat part of the way, Paria Waterfall is a must-visit. On the day I visited rain fell so this is what it would look like on a rainy day.
