PLACES OF INTEREST in Trinidad and Tobago

EL TUCUCHE
Although it is a hard 4 hour hike to the top of El
Tucuche, Trinidad’s second-highest peak, those who
endure the hike are rewarded at the top by a superb
360-degree view of the island before them. On the
way up, hikers may catch a glimpse of the elusive
golden tree frog and other rare species. El Tucuche is
located on Trinidad’s north coast where the summit
lies at 3,073 feet above sea level making the hike not
only long but also very strenuous.
