Aripo Waterfall Adventure

Get ready for a paradise of depth and simplicity. At the foothills of Trinidad's highest mountain, El Cerro Del Aripo, (3,085 feet), is a small mountain village called Aripo with a population of less than 1,000. In Aripo lies a Turquoise hued six (6) foot waterfall rich in biodiversity due to its bottomless depth.
