From beautiful studies in our very diverse birds, to rappelling waterfalls, or mountain biking. Chose the way you wish to enjoy Trinidad and Tobago's unparalelled nature and culture and we will make sure you have fun. The Paria Springs Project is a venture that seeks to show that man can earn a respectable living while caring for the natural environment and the people around us. It is the result of several years of effort of its founding members who all share a deep interest in conservation and a love for our local culture. While we all wish to earn financial rewards from the Paria Springs Project, this is not the measure of success. The final measure of success is that we conserve our natural heritage and our culture while generating financial returns. |
