Pitch Lake
San Fernando Hill
Once a sacred site for the First
Peoples, the hill rises above the
hubbub of industry below, offering
views of the city, the southwest
peninsula and — on a clear day —
up the west coast to Port of Spain,
and the mountains of eastern
Venezuela. It was saved from
further scarring from quarrying
by being declared a National Park
in 1980. Open daily, 9am–6pm
Valencia eco-resort
This is a 10-acre estate with
hundreds of fruit trees and flocks
of birds and butterflies. Enjoy
several sports, fish for tilapia in
the pond, cook in an outdoor carat
shed, or take a cool dip in the river
(or the large swimming pool).
Also in the mix: peacocks, geese,
parrots, guinea fowls, ducks,
tortoises, rabbits, and monkeys.
