La Brea Pitch Lake
Trinidad and Tobago is home to the world’s largest commercial deposits of
natural asphalt, which is mined and exported for use in manufacturing and
road paving. The La Brea Pitch Lake is located on Trinidad’s south-western
coast. Visitors to the Lake can soak in the natural sulphur pools, enjoy the
bountiful bird life, or just stand inspired by one of nature’s true wonders.
The Pitch Lake holds approximately 10 million tonnes of asphalt.
