Will check out the place too.

Thanks for sharing my post Leland. Yep, there are a few tours that take folks here from time to time – but I had it all to myself that particular Monday. Yes the pool at the base of the waterfall would be great for snorkeling – its not too big but it seemed to be very deep. There are some sulpher deposits if you continue on further down the main trail – you cross several refreshingly cold creeks before reaching the waterfall – but part of the attraction is hiking through this pristine rainforest 🙂

The Island of Trinidad isn’t huge but it def takes some time to get around the island because the roads are generally narrow and the more backroads are full of potholes and other road hazards. I would say the trailhead is about a 2 hour drive from the capital city, Port of Spain.

I recreated the story on our site here : http://wishbeen.com/travelplans#!/plans/32db13bb0e3548ef but had a really hard time finding where exactly Rio Seco was. Is it a really “out of the way” sort of spot? Considering on Monday you were the only one there I suppose it must be pretty quiet most of the time..

Sounds like a really amazing little adventure though.. wow.

Do you think the waterfall’s pool would be a nice place to do some snorkeling? Is there anything to see there?
