Hiking to El Tucuche is indeed a heartwarming experience where the
views are quite panoramic. El Tucuche being the second highest mountain in the
twin islands of Trinidad and Tobago is rated a “7” as it is quite challenging. The
hike has a distance of 6 miles one way and takes about 3.5 hours one way to get
to the destination. The trail is quite precipitous for the most parts and during the strenuous climb to the top through the lush green and pristine rain-forest, you may see a variety of monkeys, lizards, frogs and other small mammals. Once you have mastered
the undulating terrain and have reached the top of the mountain you will be
rewarded with stunning views of Las Cuevas Bay, the Central Plain and the
S outhern Range.
