RINCON WATERFALL HIKE | North CoastTrinidad
For today's Adventure, Lovie and Matt headed out on the north coast road along with 2 friends Jason and Jess to find this Rincon Waterfall. Although Rincon is noted for having snakes on the trail, we did not come across any. It would still be wise to hike in protective boots for your safety. The hike is 2 hours long and is rated 7/10 because of its constant ups and downs and the long steep climb down 3 ropes. After going down the ropes you meet the beautiful falls. One of the tallest waterfall in Trinidad. Stay Safe Guys and Stay Adventurous!!!!

After DMAD Company partook in Nature Seekers Annual Matura Beach Clean Up for the 3rd year in a row, we were interviewed by Ctv and featured for approximately 3 minutes in the news.
The beach clean up is in preparation for the turtle nesting season that spans from March to September annually. 4 main marine turtle nest on the shores of Trinidad and Tobago: Leatherbacks, Hawksbills, Green Turtles, Olive Ridleys and Loggerheads.
The main nesting beaches in Trinidad are Matura, Fishing Pond and Grande Rivière which are all Prohibited Areas. Permission is required for the purpose of turtle viewing therefore you must apply for permits.
