Asa Wright is one of the top 10 bird-watching sites in the world, but you don't have to be a birder or an ornithologist to enjoy it's brilliantly colored tropical birds, or take great bird pictures. To us the Asa Wright Nature Center - a great place for a few days of rest and relaxation - congers up memories of dramatic hiking trails amid the mist shrouded peaks and tropical rain forests of Trinidad's Northern Range.
Then of course, there are those close encounters with some of Trinidad and Tobago's over 460 species of exotic tropical birds, 600 species of butterflies, and 2800 species of flowering plants; it's simply both a hikers paradise, and a tropical garden of Eden.

All you have to do is bring your camera and a good pair of hiking boots, and, depending on the season, your trusty Trinidad tour guide will put you in in the perfect place to capture stunning scenic and tropical bird pictures like these by Stephen Broadbridge.
