Exploring nature is one of the best things to do in Trinidad. Make sure to visit tobacco plantations, rushing beautiful waterfalls, coffee plantations and lush, green valleys.
The most prominent attraction of the Valley is the ancient watchtower used by plantation overseers to watch for escaped slaves. Climb to the top for an expansive view of the entire valley.
On the way to the tower you’ll find local artisans selling embroidered needlework; table cloths, clothing, table runners. The pieces are beautiful and extraordinary value for the money. If you want a truly authentic artisanal gift or souvenir, this is it!
If cultural activities are your thing, delve into the history of Trinidad’s colonial past in the town’s many museums. These are the most impressive buildings to explore in and around the Plaza Mayor.
Santeria is the Afro-Cuban religion. It is a syncretic mix of West African religions brought from Africa to Cuba by enslaved Africans and mixed with Catholic beliefs. Visit with a local priest and witness a religious ritual.
