The Asa Wright Nature Centre and Lodge is one of the finest birding lodges in the world. Set high up in the Northern Range in Trinidad, it overlooks a magnificent forested valley from the former estate house of a coffee and cocoa plantation. Life is centred on the veranda, from where you can see scores of species of birds, but there is a host of birding and nature activities in the surrounding mountains. The accommodation is relatively simple, but perfectly comfortable.
