Valsayn: Caroni River - Uriah Butler Highway

Tunapuna-Piarco has served as a local-government region within Trinidad and Tobago since 1990. On Trinidad’s north-central plain, it extends from the foothills of the Northern Range toward low-lying districts shaped by the Caroni River basin. Tunapuna and St Augustine are important residential and commercial centres, while Piarco is home to Piarco International Airport, the country’s principal air hub. The St Augustine Campus of The University of the West Indies gives the area a major academic presence. It forms part of the urban corridor leading toward Port of Spain, yet the slopes of the Northern Range remain close by.

Trinidad and Tobago stretches from the Gulf of Paria on Trinidad’s west coast to the Caribbean shores of Tobago, encompassing lowland plains, the forested Northern Range and two distinct islands. Trinidad, the larger island, is the country’s urban and industrial centre, with Port of Spain set beneath the Northern Range. At La Brea, Pitch Lake is a major natural asphalt deposit. Tobago moves at a quieter pace, with the Main Ridge Forest Reserve protecting rainforest and coastal waters supporting reefs. Carnival, calypso and the steelpan give the nation an influential musical identity across the Caribbean. Find related webcams in the surrounding area to build a fuller picture of Trinidad and Tobago.
