| Hiking is a favorite outdoor
recreational activity of many individuals and there are several groups that organise day
and overnight hikes to various parts of Trinidad. These group hikes are usually on
weekends or public holidays. With most of these hiking groups an individual simply has to
meet the group at the designated starting point and pay a small fee to join the group on
the hike. The individuals who participate in these hikes are of all ages, races, religions
and sexes. When going on hikes you should always seek to
wear the right hiking or water
shoes for women or men and also carry water. The hiking groups listed below are usually well
organised with roll calls at the start and end of the hike plus spotters throughout the
hike to ensure that participants stay on the designated trail.

For those who prefer to hike on their own, a very good source of hiking
route information is "The Trinidad and Tobago Field Naturalist Club Trail
Guide". Another good source of information is "Nature Trails of Trinidad"
by FFrench and Bacon.
Many of the hikes that are undertaken lead to various waterfalls or other hiking points of
interest or unique geological formations such as mud volcanos or caves. Other treks are undertaken to observe
the natural flora and fauna.
