Step into the hidden gem of Paramin, a village perched high in the mountains, where legend has it that some of the earliest residents were runaway slaves, or “maroons,” seeking refuge from the plantations. Your journey begins in a rustic jeep driven by a local guide, a proud resident of the village who will share the fascinating history and culture of this remote area.
As we ascend the thin ribbon of road winding through the mountains, you’ll see fields of chives, thyme, parsley, cabbage, yam, and peppers—crops that are carefully carved into the steep hillsides. The panoramic views along the way are nothing short of breathtaking, with lush greenery extending as far as the eye can see.
One of our stops is the historic Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, a central part of village life, renowned for its Carnival Sunday mass held in Patois. As we stroll through Paramin, we’ll visit a local family preparing fresh produce for the market (depending on the season), offering you a taste of daily life in this tranquil community.
The tour culminates at the Mt Saut D’Eau mountain peak, the highest point in the village, where you’ll take in the most stunning views of all. From here, the vast expanse of Trinidad’s natural beauty stretches out before you—a scene so picturesque it will leave you in awe.
Join us for this unforgettable journey through Paramin, a place where history, nature, and culture come together in perfect harmony.
