Asa Wright Nature Centre
About
Asa Wright Nature Centre, on Trinidad, occupies a site on Blanchisseuse Rd in Arima, set in the hills above the island's northern coast.
First-time visitors should expect a nature-focused stay rather than a standard city hotel, with grounds that draw birdwatchers and walkers. An average of 4.6 out of 5 from 80 reviews places it among the higher-scoring stays on the island. Reaching it from the main towns is easiest by car, since Arima sits inland from the north coast and the road climbs towards Blanchisseuse. The centre's own website, asawright.org, carries details for planning a visit.
Arima lies east of Port of Spain, and the drive from the capital passes through the town before turning onto the Blanchisseuse road.
The Caribbean has a tropical climate with a wet season running from June to November, so outdoor walks are best planned around those wetter months. Caribbean cooking commonly combines rice, plantain and saltfish with Scotch bonnet and other hot peppers, a pattern visitors will meet in the towns nearby. Caribbean islands are mostly volcanic or limestone in origin, and coral reefs grow off many of their coasts, which shapes the landscapes around the northern hills.
