The Pitch Lake is
the largest natural deposit of asphalt in the world. It is located at La
Brea in southwest Trinidad. It has fascinated explorers and scientist,
and attracts every aspect of the globe as a natural wonder.
It is the largest
and most significant pitch lake in the world, measuring one hundred acres, and
is approximately 76 metres deep in the center. The liquid asphalt is
black and viscous, but the surface is semisolid, and can be walked upon.
Although named
one of the Wonder of the World, people occasionally take a swim in the crystal
clear water which some say is therapeutic because of its sulphur content.
This is such a
natural beauty, nothing but amazing, Trinidad and Tobago has been truly blessed
with this Wonder of the World.
Come and share
the experience of nature’s best in south Trinidad. You can call the Ministry of
Tourism at 625-2987
