San Fernando Hill

Trinidad


Looming over San Fernando, this was once a sacred Amerindian site, but today its landscaped grounds are a great place to kick back and relax, dotted with picnic tables and offering sweeping views over the central plains. It has a cafe and a children's playground. You'll need a car to get here, as the access road is some way from the center.
