Tobago - World's Leading Eco-Tourism
Destination
Tobago, the gentle and tranquil
half of the nation state of Trinidad and Tobago, the
most southerly islands of the Caribbean island chain,
exudes a lush, relaxed gracefulness throughout its entire
16-mile length and 7-mile width. Tobago, voted the world's Leading Eco-Tourism Destination for the last 5 years, and once more nominated for 2008-2009, gently charms her callers, with the finest opportunities for
eco-tourism: a pristine rain forest - the oldest protected
in the western hemisphere - ... exotic birding ... mountainous
grandeur...unexpected waterfalls...beautiful exotic birds...protected
marine parks harbouring fascinating worlds of underwater
coral...white sand beaches... warm-hearted and generous
people and the CUFFIE RIVER ECO-LODGE - a rainforest
retreat, mere steps away from the finest rainforest
birding adventure tours.
Our
Unique Tropical Rainforest Retreat
On the edge of Tobago's rainforest,
surrounded by wild heliconias, bamboo groves and ancient
forest trees, and cradled in the remote and idyllic
Runnemede valley lies the Cuffie River Nature Retreat
and Eco-lodge - a secluded rainforest resort offering
the ultimate in tropical rainforest birding and rainforest
adventure tours. The eco-lodge is a remote yet modern,
upmarket facility set against a backdrop of mountains
and encircled by cool, refreshing mountain streams and
pools. This is nature tourism at its most subtle yet
refined - allowing you a complete rainforest experience
while enjoying the creature comforts of home.
The concept of this eco-tourism resort was born out
of the rural development experience of owner/Manager,
Regina Dumas Sanchez, whose work in this field led her throughout
the Caribbean where issues affecting rural people and
their livelihoods were all too evident. For Regina,
the human, environmental and infrastructural factors
were found to be the most significant to the well-being
of the rural sector and thus played a central role in
the envisioning and development of this project. The result? A beautiful blending of
attractive architecture set in the midst of idyllic
rainforest and with warm and welcoming hospitality awaiting
every guest who enters the eco-lodge.
