Bamboo Cathedral / Tracking Station

← Back to Attractions

📍 Tracking Station Road, Tucker Valley, Chaguaramas

Description

The Bamboo Cathedral is a 300 metre stretch of roadway where the bamboo stalks bend towards each other above the road, forming arcs reminiscent of cathedrals. Several watercolours by Michael Jean Cazabon (b. 1813 d. 1888), Trinidad’s great nineteenth century artist and National Hero, were painted on this trace, now known as Cazabon Trail. The “Cathedral” has remained the same for over 150 years, and is now a popular trail for casual hikers, nature lovers and families looking to enjoy the outdoors. Cazabon Trail meets the main Tucker Valley Road on the way to Macqueripe Bay. The gently-upward-sloping trail leads to a satellite tracking station overlooking the picturesque Macqueripe Bay.
