About Grand Riviere - Turtle Watching, Toco, Trinidad and Tobago

Grande Riviere is a rural village situated on the north coast of Trinidad. It gets its name from the large river which runs through it, meeting the sea. For bathers, this allows the opportunity to combine sea bathing with river swimming in the same location. The area has become known for its great bird watching opportunities, being home to such species as the endangered Blue-throated Piping-Guan (Pawi), Crimson-crested Woodpecker, and Swallow-tailed Kite. It is also a primary nesting ground for large numbers of Leatherback turtles. Source: http://turtlevillagetrust.org/grande-riviere.htm Category: Historical Sites
