Sobo Waterfalls

The picturesque Sobo Falls is located in the village of Brasso Seco. Brasso Seco's cultivated landscape with cocoa, coffee and citrus and its lush, green forestry offer a sanctuary for a diverse species of birds like toucans, bell-birds, hummingbirds, honey-creepers, tanagers, trogons and manikins. The warm and inviting atmosphere beckons visitors to come and explore this magnificent landscape.

 A moderate 40-50 minutes trek begins at Brasso Seco Village's Center and proceeds into the forest through the cocoa and coffee estates along the dirt Madamas Road, where the footpath is wide, flat and gently sloping in some areas. On this journey, the explorer can view an abundance of plant life that stretches across the countryside.

At the gateway to the falls, there is a junction of two tributaries, where the river-path of the Sobo Falls merge with the path of Double River Falls which is located four miles east of the village. For those adventure-seekers desiring a lovely river swim before heading home, a short hike can take you to the Double River Waterfall nearby. The entrance to the Sobo Falls reveals a beautiful sixty-five feet waterfall which emanates as a single flow of approximately twenty-five feet in length and cascades off the limestone countryside to fall into a colourful shower mist. Sobo Waterfall is actually two waterfalls, where at the base, lies a shallow pool surrounded with evergreen flora. 

This beautiful landscape is one truly worth discovering! Wouldn't you agree?

    1. Hi, this falls is located in Brasso Seco on the north-eastern part of Trinidad. It's 1 hour's drive from the Piarco Airport or 45 mins from the nearest town of Arima.
