Wow awesome place to visit. Visiting Paria Waterfall is an annual event for my friends and I the water is clean and deep. A nice trek to get to the location. The waterfall could be heard from a distance, the air is fresh with lots of wild animals to see.

Well, if you plan on doing this hike to the beautiful Fall on our island I'd recommend you first start by having all your gears i.e citronella oil, blade, first aid, phone fully charged, food, water(enough to reach to the bay seeing that there's a fresh supply coming from a hose at the bay). I'd recommend wearing a sneakers only if catch a sunny day. Once it's muddy definitely a boots. Long pants and long sleeve. It's a long walk and your body is gonna get beat by that sun ever so often through the unshaded paths.... It all depends on your fitness with regards to the time it takes to reach the fall. Don't park your car at the bride seeing that person's break into your vehicle in search for valuables. There's a restaurant just a few minutes before the bridge that you could park at or the bar just before that, you'll just need to pay 25ttd. Stay left. From the bridge to the first bay before the path to turtle Rock. Stay left! You have either a constant view of the coast or sounds of the waves crashing. Stay left! Reaching to the first bay look right you'll see a track that'll lead you to turtle Rock. This time you are moving through the forest. Stay Left and follow the path. You'd reach an area that's well kept and planted with a pathway that leads out to the sea. You've made it to Turtle Rock! After taking all your pics and catching your breath return to the path and take the left that'll take you to Paria Bay. Reaching the Bay you're walking along the beach where you'd see a bamboo table and a hose with running water (use it to refill and quench your thirst) there's a path on the right side that leads you to the Fall (it's got a coconut tree planted to the start of the path) from there it's a 15min walk to the fall. You did it!

Starting off the trail depends on where you park. If you park at the spring bridge, expect the trail to be over 3 hours long. My advice would be to drive as far as you can do along the main rd. That would cut down about 45-60mins of walking time. Assuming you park fairly further down, it would take approx 2hrs 45mins. This is with regular stops and visit to turtle rock. There is alot of steep uphill and down hill climbs and flat areas as well. Once you have good shoes you should be good to go. I would not recommend a beginner or somebody with a weak mental ability, you really need that pull and determination to back and forth. This hike is about 16-17km long. If you start at the spring bridge it's close to 20km total. The waterfall was great with both deep and shallow parts to swim in. I would give this a 7.5 in terms of difficulty rating.

A favorite destination for hikers. This waterfall is approximately 20 min from Paria beach in the middle of the northern range. It has a nice big pool to swim in and the water is most refreshing.

Definitely not for the faint hearted. It was truly and amazing experience, with intermittent stops it took approximately 3 hours to hike in. Coming back out with shorter and fewer breaks it took about an hour and a half. Many many steep inclines. Overall worth the journey. The falls had a nice pool to relax in after the long hike.

A favourite destination among nature lovers is a visit to Paria Bay. Its captivating waterfall is so enticing that few can resist the temptation to take a dip in its refreshing pool. Located approximately 8km east of the Blanchisseuse Spring Bridge, the walk to the bay takes approximately 2 hours. The trail, which is broad and detailed, meanders up and down along the coast. At times the trail diverts from the coast and goes in and out of the forest. Along the way, a beautiful spot to re-energise and enjoy the cooling sea breeze is Turtle Rock. Surrounded by a seascape of magnificent, coastal sceneries this rocky peninsula actually resembles a turtle. The trail continues for a further 20 minutes to descend at the western end of Paria Bay. Most noticeable is the Cathedral Rock, which is a massive slab of stone broken away by sea erosion to form a spectacular arch with a protruding piece in the middle. It unique formation enclosed by countless boulders is a lovely area to take some memorable photos. Paria Bay is approximately 1.5km long. The beach with its silky smooth sand provides ideal conditions for the leatherback turtles to nest. During the nesting season which ranges between March to July they come ashore nightly. Located on the eastern end of the beach there is the River’s Mouth which has transformed itself into a picturesque lagoon with shallow and calm waters. During high tide, the backlash of seawater into the river attracts a variety of small marine fish. The vegetation at the river’s mouth consists primarily of red mangrove and going abundantly along the beach are towering coconut trees, which provide a welcoming, shade to visitors. The pathway from the beach to the waterfall takes a further 15 minutes. On November 30th 2017 severe flooding caused the entire landscape to change. However, nature has a way of restoring its natural beauty and the falls now rejuvenated to its original emerald green colour. Its large plunge pool is refreshingly clean and crystal clear. The adventurous can challenge themselves by climbing and jumping off the rocks. Some try to swim against the current, to go under the falls where there is an overhang behind the powerful water-drop. The river’s source comes from the Brasso Seco Region and some vegetation growing alongside its bank are the Maraval Lilies (spathiphyllum cannifolium), Cannonball (couroupita guianensis) and choconia (warszewiczia coccinea). A visit to Paria Beach and Waterfall should be on every Trinbagonian’s Bucket list or a must-see place to go. It is an extraordinary destination to enjoy nature to the fullest as well as the beach, river-mouth and waterfall. It is critical that each citizen make it their duty to preserve our ecological treasures so future generations can appreciate. Visitors and weekend campers have a responsibility to protect the environment by not cutting down the valuable forest and leaving rubbish on the beach. This negligence can lead to beach erosion as well as endanger wildlife and turtle hatchlings. On Sunday 24th March 2019, Island Hikers visit Paria Bay and waterfall.

With several entry points to choose from, Paris waterfalls has many options for the outdoor enthusiast to explore. It is located about 15 minutes walk from the beach at Paria Bay where quite a number of people often camp. One can also, as I did, follow the trail from Brasso Second village which is sure to get your heart pumping as this trek takes between 2-4 hours depending on your physical condition and trail condition. There is also a trail from Blanchisseuse after the spring bridge which is a steep uphill and you definitely need to be fut for that one. The waterfall is quite a nice scenic and often serene place where one can relax and just enjoy the flow of the water. A must see for those who love the outdoors and if you take the Brasso Seco trail, definitely a trek you won't forget. If a full day of hiking isn't for you then I suggest camping overnight before the home back or one can hire a boat from Blanchisseuse or Las Cuevas to and from the Bay and make your way to the falls along the side trail from the beach.

Very lovely pool to swim and have fun. Remember the water is cold but clean and clear.

2 1/2 hour hike from Blanchisseuse to Paria Waterfall...beautiful sparkling pristene waterfall and pool....

The waterfall is very beautiful, especially after lunch when the sun touches the water and gives it a translucent green colour. The water is cold, but refreshing after the sweaty hike. The place was deserted when we arrived. After half an hour a small group of quiet young hikers joined us. There are fish in the water, but they leave you alone. The place was clean. You can only swim directly underneath the waterfall with a life jacket. You can also dive from the cliffs on the left of the waterfall when swimming towards it. There are some steps and latches to climb up. The water there is about 3 meters deep depending on the season.

A definite must visit! A beautiful waterful awaits trekkers after a fairly long hike. And now, thanks to the villagers, you can take a boat (approximately $250 return) and bypass the hike.

Lovely senerice views that are so breath taking and heart warming that anyone will be excited to see. Such lovely ambience and welcoming atmosphere for anyone. Lots of parking available for persons which are secured by the security on shift. Would definitely be visiting here soon again.

Great place that's absolutely worth the time it takes to hike in

It is a good long nature walk with a lot to see, have a good pair of shoes, water and a tour guide or a hiking club you have a great time. Level5 hike...

Trail is well cut out now.

One of the best hidden nature spots in Trinidad and Tobago 😁👍🐒🐆🐍🐗🐡🐙🐳🐟🐠🐞🐚⛅🌞🌄🌅🌊

Absolutely beautiful and pristine.

Great hike. Nice cool water. Deep pool, high waterfall. 14km hike with every step.

Hiked Paria to get to this beautiful place. Worth every step and climb! If you can do so safely, (and can swim) the water falling is warm while the water you're swimming in is cool. The current is strong though, so proceed with caution! They don't recommend coming here when it's raining... there will be no place to step on cause water will be too high

A once in a lifetime experience, a must see, a much needed experience for anyone that loves hiking or the outdoors!

Amazing

The Paria waterfall is a refreshingly short walk 15 minutes inland from the scenic Paria Beach. Following the river located at the eastern end of the beach, one comes across one of the most remarkable hidden waterfalls. Clean, clear, pristine waters

One of the most rewarding of the waterfalls due to the length of time and distance that has to be travelled by foot to reach, over a 2 hour trek for the fit, but the water is immaculate and pristine, cant be beat for its untouched nature

If your a thrill seeker love hiking are fit enough and have the time and energy with the rite crew paris falls is the place for you simply put it's an unforgettable experience

Great test of endurance when u ride from brasso seco junction

Amazing. The beauty of the waterfall is worth the long hike.

Beautiful and peace evermore

If hiking to the falls wear proper hiking shoes, the experience the great out in the forest.

Love this place

Awesome trail. Leaves your body in pain 3 days after but totally worth the risk and the views are amazing .

Beautiful hike ending in an amazing waterfall and huge natural swimming pool

Amazing place; even more intriguing given the changes that took place naturally!

Beautiful waterfall blue green waters. I access it for the Paria bay. It was a 20-minute trek, mostly flat passing through a small stream and part of the river about knee high. Saw Chaconia and Lilies flowers, cocoa tree and other greenery. A snake slidering across the river too.

Challenging . Not for the fair hearted.

still awesome :-)

I enjoyed the the Adventure but the waterfall is fabulous after a long walk feeling warm when you hit that water you feel refreshing.
