This is reputed to be one of the most pristine and
beautiful waterfalls in this corner of the universe. These falls flow with such
serene power, one that soothes the world-weary spirit and caresses the body
with the hands of a gentle masseuse. Argyle Waterfall is a scenic drive
from Scarborough, the capital of Tobago. The falls are situated on the Argyle
River, just west of Roxborough Village. There is a trail that begins from the
Windward Main Road, a short one minute drive or six minute walk. The river and
falls are a part of the Main Ridge reserve and is one of the oldest protected
rainforest reserve in the western hemisphere.
The trail abounds with a breathtaking variety of
butterflies, spiders, lizards and snakes. You can hear the sound of exotic
birds such as cocricos and parrots create a cacophonic orchestra of chirps as
if to serenade the unspoilt beauty of this eden. In a small marsh, miniature
caimans play hide and seek between the floating water lilies. The vegetation
reflects an incredible diversity and the land is a loosely knit tapestry of
trees including the poui, mango, cocoa, wild pines, bois cano, silk cotton,
cedar and pawpaw among others. Adding to the richness and colour are bursts of
wild blossoms such as orchids, mimosa and heliconia.
