On the
eastern side of the island, along the Windward Road on the way to Roxborough,
Argyle Falls provides an excellent do-it-yourself nature walk for those who may
need to work off too many helpings of breadfruit pie. The hike to the falls is
pretty easy, about 15 – 20 minutes of relatively flat ground.
The
trail is very clearly marked, so there’s no need for a guide. Entry costs about
TT$50 and guides are available for an additional fee. You’ll walk along the
riverbed through serene forest to the falls themselves. The more adventurous
will attempt to climb them, but unless you’re a seasoned hiker and rock
climber, it may be better to stay in the refreshing pools at the foot of the
falls and take in the splendor of nature from below.
As a
vacation destination, Tobago offers visitors historical nuggets, ecotourism
gems and natural serenity. Argyle Waterfall is the highest waterfall in Tobago,
and the facilities and guides available on site make it very attractive to
visitors. Getting there is very easy, as just before the town of Roxborough in
the northeast of the island, there is a large welcome sign marking the access
road (Cameron Canal road). The Argyle Waterfalls are Tobago's highest
waterfalls, tumbling 54m (175ft) in a series of stepped cascades.
Come and
unwind from that stressful week of stressful life, plan that vacation you’ve
been putting off and come to our beautiful destinations here at Tobago!!!
