Quare River and 3 waterfalls 

Valencia is a region surrounded by rivers and located on its western side are the Guanapo and Aripo Rivers and to the east the La Sieva, North Oropuche, Turure and Quare Rivers. It is also a place known for its river-limes and within its boundary is the De Freitas Ranch, Valencia Eco-Resort, Valencia Nature Centre and Heritage Park. Most significant is the Quare River since it water source flows as an overspill from the Hollis Reservoir. Along the river course, there are many fascinating areas to explore with plunge pools and cascading waterfalls. The Quare Pools situated below the dam is a favorite recreation spot for the Valencia Villagers.

Most people look at Valencia as a bypassed village en route to Toco and Sangre Grande. However, Valencia started as an estate owned by a Spanish farmer named Valentia. To the entrance of the community, there are two concrete Pillars built by the Americans in 1941 during World War 11. These Pillars represented an entry point to their Naval Base in Comuto-El Mano known as Fort Read. The population of Valencia grew with the arrival of the Americans who provided work to the villagers. At the entrance to Valencia, there is a Visitor Centre with a small zoo that includes information on eco-tourism and Cultural Heritage.

The exploration of the Quare River starts with a twenty-minute walk alongside the riverbank. The trail, which rises gradually, is usually muddy during the rainy season. Along the way, the track passes through abandon agriculture land and continues through the forest to an enchanted cascade. Further upstream there are fascinating pools to discover with shallow and deep areas. Note that bathing is optional and does not require one to get wet. The hike is suitable for children seven years and up.

Information courtesy Island Hikers.

On reaching the waterfall one has the option to sit on the rocks while enjoying the scenery of the cascading river.

For the adventurous swimmers, there is an additional surprise of cliff diving/jumping into the sparkling clear water.

We look forward to taking you on this adventure with us.
