    Naturist most see!!!

    Beautiful water channels leading to the bird sanctuary is abundant with natural beauty of indigenous flora and fauna. Here you might catch a glimpse of a few sleeping snakes, caimans and the main attraction, our national bird, the Scarlet Ibis.

    Splendid wildlife

    You won't see as many birds in the morning. The best time to go is in the evening time when birds are returning to their nest. Also, wonderful wildlife activity could be seen n the evening.

    This is ten (10) minutes by car from Port Of Spain without traffic . The traffic is terrible so plan one (1) hour for this trip.
