Chacachacare - Abandoned Leper Colony in Trinidad
Today, Chacachacare is an uninhabited island, except for the lighthouse keeper. In the 1920s while Trinidad was under English control, the decision was made to isolate all the leprosy patients from the general population. The patients who were able to work were used to build the buildings and work in the garden. Dominican nuns were the nurses and lived in the three buildings on the hill across the bay from the patient quarters. The colony included a movie theater, bakery, cemeteries and numerous churches.

EMA Plight at Chacachacare
A short video I did recently for the Environmental Management Authority in Trinidad and Tobago on the global clean up day where they had teams of volunteers all over the country cleaning up our beaches and coastlines. On Chacachacare island they removed over 11,000 beverage containers that had been washed ashore or left behind by visitors to the island on a popular turtle nesting grounds.

Hammock Overnighter on Chacachacare island.
This off the couch adventure finds us on Chacachacare Island , part of Trinidads western isles. It was a Leper Colony from the 20s to the 80s and is now left uninhabited. The growth is slowly reclaiming the structures. The Discovery channel featured a ghost hunters episode there as it is said to be haunted. We were dropped off and arranged for the boat to return 24hrs later to pick up those of us that remain....: ). All levels of experience in our party from never camped before to seasoned ex military. All happy hammocker on our chac. Christmas camp.

Chacachacare Leprosarium 2013
On the island of Chacachacare which borders the Boca Grande of the north-west coast of Trinidad, our social history stands naked, amidst the ruins of an abandoned leprosarium and the graveyard of the nuns who once served that leper colony.
The Chacachacare Leprosarium is now isolated and derelict. It is a neglected place. It is a place of death and a place of beauty, a place governed by a haunting silence but rich in the history of service and sacrifice. The outside world remains unaware of its mysteries and its secrets, including the knowledge of the happy marriage that occurred there between the sacred and the secular.
This documentary travels rapidly through time to explore how the religious missionaries, aided by the colonial government served the lepers of Trinidad & Tobago 1926-1955. Utilizing a braided time scheme that entwines the past and the present, this documentary blends historical photographs and newspaper articles with illustrations, video footage and still photography to reveal the complex social history, which is part of our cultural heritage.
