Argyle Falls, Waterfall in Roxborough, Trinidad and Tobago
Argyle Falls consists of three tiers of water cascading down about 54 meters over rock formations, creating natural pools at each level. The water drops through multiple stages, and each tier has its own small reservoir where the water collects before flowing onward.
The falls formed over thousands of years as water eroded the metamorphic rocks in the Main Ridge Forest Reserve. This long process of carving shaped the landscape into the tiered system visible today.
Local guides share stories about plants along the path, including cocoa trees and herbs that have been used by people here for generations.
Access is via a marked trail that takes about 20 minutes to walk from the entrance. Wear shoes with good grip, as the path can become slippery, especially after rain.
In the uppermost pool, visitors can swing from natural vines hanging from surrounding trees before diving into the water below. These hanging vines offer a playful and adventurous way to enter the deepest swimming area.

Trinidad and Tobago offer a combination of coastal landscapes, nature reserves and historic colonial sites. The two islands lie off the northern coast of Venezuela and include diverse habitats ranging from mangrove swamps to rainforests and coral reefs. Attractions include the Caroni Swamp with its scarlet ibis colony, the Asa Wright Nature Centre in the Arima Valley and the natural asphalt deposit at La Brea Pitch Lake in southwestern Trinidad. The capital Port of Spain features colonial architecture including the Magnificent Seven along Western Main Road, the Red House parliament building and the Royal Botanic Gardens. Tobago provides beaches such as Pigeon Point Beach, Store Bay and Englishman's Bay, plus Fort King George above Scarborough. The Tobago Forest Reserve protects one of the oldest protected rainforest areas in the Western Hemisphere, while Little Tobago Island serves as a bird sanctuary. The Buccoo Reef Marine Area and Nylon Pool off Tobago's west coast offer access for snorkelers and divers.
