Taste of Trini Tour with Jesse James Oct. 22, 2026 (Part 3 of 3)

The days are getting shorter, and as we crossed from the interior of Trinidad towards the West coast, it soon became dark. We passed teak lumber yards, cocoa plantations, and small villages. New land was being cleared for planting and the roads here were quite bumpy for awhile.

The island is beautiful, and several spots gave us views of the mountain ranges and lights from Port of Spain. The food continued, with several dinner stops, focused around BBQ dishes and lots of snacks and sides.

Jesse kept moving and heeded the earlier comment about ice cream and made a final stop along Ariapita Avenue for a wonderful cold treat - although, a good portion of the group couldn't manage to eat anything else!

This is an amazing trip, and we'd recommend it to anyone visiting Trinidad. Thanks Jesse!

Dinner:
5:12 PM Rio Claro - fried chicken
5:27 PM Port of Spain - Paw Paw Balls
6:38 PM Grand Couva - Lamb, fresh salad, Trini fried rice
6:38 PM Grand Couva - barbecue chicken, macaroni salad, fried potato

Taste of Trini Tour with Jesse James Oct. 22, 2026 (Part 2 of 3)

We continued on and after about a 35 minute break from breakfast, lunch began. We drove east through the center of Trinidad through Valencia and Sangre Grande to arrive at the Atlantic Ocean around Manzanilla Beach. Following our lunch stop at the beach, we continued South to the Mayaro area before turning west towards Rio Claro and the east coast.

By the way, do you know how you know that you've reached the center of a town??

Just look for a KFC (at least that's what Jesse said). And if you get lost, just look for the Northern, Central and Southern Mountains. They run East-West, and the tallest are in the North and shortest in the South.

And what's a Treezzee?
Generally speaking - treats with afternoon high tea. At cricket matches, they take a 15 minute break for treezzee's at 3:15pm.

Lunch:
11:25 AM Valencia - Barbecue Pigtail
11:44 AM Ariapita Avenue - Cow Heel soup
12:02 PM Sangre Grande - Callaloo soup, Dahl (yellow split peas), flour dumplings, provisions (root vegetables), Macaroni pie, stew pork

Channa & Aloo, curry mango, pumpkin, boss up roti and Dahl Phoulori
2:47 PM Watermelon @ farm stand near coast
3:36 PM Rio Claro - pholourie
4:01 PM Rio claro - cassava pone (raisins, cinnamon and cassava

In the Tucker Valley in Chaguaramas is the Bamboo Cathedral, a stretch of closed roadway where the bamboo stalks bend towards each other above the road. Several watercolors by Michael Jean Cazabon (b. 1813 d. 1888), Trinidad’s great nineteenth century artist and National Hero, were painted along this stretch, now known as Cazabon Trail. The “Cathedral” has remained the same for over 150 years. The valley was named after the Tucker family, one of the original owners of the estate.

The Trinidad White-fronted Capuchin and Red Howler monkeys can also be found here.

Rented a car today with Dean and Kris from Charm. We’ve hit the Tru Valu and PriceMart this morning and completed a good base provisioning. Stopped for lunch at 51 Ingredients in the Movietown and PitaPit for Jason just outside the theater. Everything was good.

Now time for Massey Grocery! No, we didn’t see a movie…

During our birding trip in the Caura Valley last week, a gentleman stopped his car and invited us to see his garden, where he said lots of birds visited.

We followed Modupe Onilu to his home and beautiful property. He has a lot of gardening activity happening, but what was inside was even more special. Modupe is a musician, and he builds instruments from local materials. They also have an amazing amount of locally crafted kitchen and home goods, jewelry, and art for sale.

They also have instrument-making classes, hiking, group activities, camping, and customize programs for both child and adult groups.

Check out Ike Park Experience on Instagram and Facebook for more information and photos. If you’re visiting this area, it’s definitely worth a stop.

We went to the Port of Spain Central Market for fresh vegetables today. Great group of 13 cruisers in the bus. We were given 1 hour to shop and return to the bus and everyone was on time!

Fun morning experience.
