Grande Riviere, Trinidad

The basics

Originally settled by Venezuelan immigrants and cultivated with cacao and other cash crops, Grande Riviere is now an off-the-beaten-path locale perfect for those looking for a quiet, eco-friendly escape. And while Grande Riviere may be lacking in conventional facilities (there are hotels on the beach that use low lighting so as not to disturb the leatherback turtle), it more than makes up for it with its wild surroundings, complete with untouched rain forest, pristine rivers and pools, and remote beaches.
