Trinidad has the largest variety of bird species per square kilometre of any country in the world. During our time in Trinidad we visited three bird sanctuaries with many avid bird watchers from around the globe who had come to Trinidad specifically to bird watch.
The Asa Wright Nature Centre
There are over 65 varieties of hummingbirds within the boundaries of the Asa Wright Nature Centre.
