Argyle water Falls

This is reputed to be one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the Caribbean. These falls flow with such serene power, one that soothes the world-weary spirit and caresses the body with the hands of a gentle masseuse.  On the way to Argyle Waterfall is a scenic drive from Scarborough, which is the capital of Tobago. The waterfall is  situated on the Argyle River, just west of Roxborough Village. There is a trail that begins from the Windward Main Road, a short one minute drive or six minute walk. The river and falls are a part of the Main Ridge reserve and is one of the oldest protected rain forest reserve in the western hemisphere.

The trail abounds with a breathtaking variety, and different species  of butterflies, spiders, lizards and snakes. You can hear the sound of exotic birds such as cocricos(national bird) and parrots create a cacophonic orchestra of chirps as if to serenade the unspoilt beauty of this eden. In a small marsh, miniature caimans play hide and seek between the floating water lilies. The lush vegetation reflects an incredible diversity, and the land is a loosely knit tapestry of trees including the poui, mango, cocoa, wild pines, bois cano, silk cotton, cedar and pawpaw among others. Adding to the richness and colour are bursts of wild blossoms such as orchids, mimosa and heliconia.
