Explore Trinidad’s tallest waterfall. Maracas Valley lies just north of Trinidad’s first capital. Once inhabited and thought sacred by the island’s first people, the single drop waterfall stands at approximately 300 feet. Stepping into this basin feels like stepping back in time, surrounded by nature, this is one of Trinidad’s hidden gems.

The hike on average takes about 40 minutes and although uphill, is a 4 out of 10 in terms of difficulty for persons reasonably fit and active.

After the falls, we guide you to back down the trail to Ballata pools, where guests can fully submerge themselves and relax in mountains fresh and rejuvenating waters.

After your hike we treat you to some of Trinidad’s most delicious foods.

This tour begins and ends at the family’s property where washroom facilities are available.

What To Expect

Maracas Waterfall

Guests meet at our property that is situated 7 minutes drive from the waterfall’s trail head. Once at the trail head, you can expect a 40 minute walk uphill (difficulty 4/10). Your guide will provide you with local knowledge on the valley as well as many other interesting facts of the area… and island, not known by many. The walk itself is under forest canopy that opens to a clearing with an amazing view of Trinidad’s highest waterfall, towering at approximately 300 feet. This main waterfall does not have any pools where you can swim. For this, on our venture back, we detour off the main trail to Balata pools, where guests can sit and relax in some of Trinidad’s freshest water.
