About the area
The Siparia region encompasses southwest Trinidad from the religious and commercial centre of Siparia town through agricultural communities to the remote coastal villages of Cedros and La Brea. The region balances Siparia's role as a pilgrimage destination and market town with La Brea's Pitch Lake tourism and Cedros' fishing traditions. Communities throughout the region provide essential services, local businesses, and cultural amenities supporting diverse populations and economic activities. The region maintains strong connections to energy sector employment while preserving agricultural heritage and coastal traditions. Siparia continues to serve vital religious, commercial, and service functions while supporting tourism at the Pitch Lake and traditional activities in coastal villages, balancing cultural identity with practical development across its varied landscapes.
1 Review on “La Brea Pitch Lake”
Well I surely didn’t know about this place before my Trinidad experience. This is surely an asphalt lake and we walked all over it. It’s quite cool and awesome place; you can feel it’s soft on certain parts, and as the locals said they do bath in it after it rains and small pools are formed. They say it’s healthy because of the sulfur. I was during the dry season, so I just walked all over this “8 wonder of the world” as they call it.
