The Pitch Lake

One of the many wonders of the world is situated at La Brea.The Pitch Lake is the largest natural deposit of asphalt in the world.  It is located at La Brea in southwest Trinidad.  It has fascinated explorers and scientist, and attracts every aspect of the globe as a natural wonder.

It is the largest and most significant pitch lake in the world, measuring one hundred acres, and is approximately 76 metres deep in the center.  The liquid asphalt is black and viscous, but the surface is semisolid, and can be walked upon.

Although named as one of the many Wonders of the World, people occasionally take a swim in the crystal clear water which is said to be therapeutic and have medicinal values due to its sulphur content.

This is such a natural beauty, nothing but amazing, Trinidad and Tobago has been truly blessed with this  awesome and breath taking beauty.
