Itinerary description
I started logging the walk at the corner of St. John’s Road and the Eastern Main Road at 10.64503°N and -61.39580°W. at 4:00am. The path is pretty clear and fully labelled. There are 14 stations along the way up to the church with re-enactments done at every station. Lots of viewpoints with exceptional views of the plains and Central Trinidad. On clear days it’s possible to see the San Fernando Hill. This is best done early morning or late evening to minimize U.V. exposure. Take lots of water along the way and stop by the Abbey Café and sample the locally made treats and their very own hand made yogurt. There is a very good hiking trail leading to Mt. Tabor that I have logged in another trail some time ago. This can be followed and is very popular with local hikers.
Happy Trails.
