The Republic of Trinidad and Tobago is the southernmost island in the Caribbean archipelago. Located just off the north-eastern coast of the South America mainland, the twin island Republic is home to international greats such as Miss Universe 1998, Wendy Fitzwilliam; Cricket Legend, Brian Charles Lara; and Carnival, the Greatest Show on Earth. The larger of the two islands, Trinidad, has a boot-like shape, measures 37 miles (80km) by 50 miles (60 km), and is noted for having an ecological and geographical diversity that is unmatched in the region.
The capital city, Port of Spain, is the business centre of the Caribbean, housing the headquarters for a number of local businesses, a myriad of restaurants and nightlife entertainment like no other. The sister isle of Tobago is a stark contrast to Trinidad. Considerably smaller in size, Tobago is well-known for its coral reefs, pristine blue waters and white sandy beaches,the smaller island is perfect for leisure activities and an immersive experience with nature. An abundance of natural reserves in oil and natural gas has made significant contributions to the strength of the Trinidad & Tobago economy—making it one of the strongest economies in the region.

5 Reviews on “River Estate Museum & Waterwheel, St. Lucien Road, Trinidad and Tobago”
Everyone knows about Trinidad’s breathtaking beaches, but the island also offers a big cultural heritage. River Estate Museum and Water Wheel remind of the island’s colonial past. The attraction includes gardens, wooden and barrack houses and related artefacts. Highly recommended.
We were on a family trip and my children loved huge water wheel. I explained to them how they once supplied the energy to big plantations. There’s also a small park with picnic facilities near. We ended up our visit by walking through the museum. Great for family time!
My history teacher brought us here for a school trip. It’s a shame but I have to admit rarely anyone knew about the true meaning and importance of waterwheels. We also liked the museum, very much.
My friend wanted to see the museum, I have to admit I wasn’t that into it. Okay, cultural heritage is important, but I’m not Trini and it doesn’t mean that much.
Well, it was much more interesting than I imagined it to be and I actually don’t regret the time spent here. It’s an interesting place.
