Follow the Eastern Main Road heading east right through Tunapuna. Be careful with irate drivers that have absolutely no respect for the laws of the road. Additionally, the sidewalks are in a state of disrepair so caution has to be exercised. I followed the Eastern Main Road through Macoya and El Dorado right through to Tacarigua and Arouca. Through Tacarigua it might be worth your while to stop at St. Mary’s Anglican Church located at the corner of the Eastern Main Road and Orange Grove Road at 10.644687°N and -61.367899°W.
I turned about at Five Rivers Junction located at 10.639178°N and -61.349379°W and headed west along the Priority Bus Route. This roadway is extremely busy with maxi taxis and sometimes private cars and extreme caution should be taken along here. I went as far as Macoya Junction located at 10.644010°N and -61.382001°W and then headed south along Macoya Road. I turned heading west at the junction with the Churchill – Roosevelt Highway located at 10.638769°N and -61.382395°W. I then walked west along the Churchill – Roosevelt Highway as far as the walkover at Pasea Extension Road located at 10.637550°N and -61.389662°W.

I headed south along Stratham Lodge Road until 10.633569°N and -61.394465°W and then turned heading west along Orange Grove Road. Turn heading north along College Trace at 10.634455°N and -61.399355°W. Crossing the Churchill – Roosevelt Highway at 10.636075°N and -61.399332°W takes you back to the starting point.
