After watching this video of Paramin, Trinidad, village in the mountains... could you live up there? Also, make sure to look for PART 2: ruclips.net/video/n5D1L9fM_TI/видео.html and La Vigie: ruclips.net/video/h1APYW019z8/видео.html
Thanks JB for producing these videos. I appreciate the 'education. Diego Martin was my base and there was hardly any real reason to explore these areas. There were infrequent opportunity to move 'outside' except to visit family during vacation. Moreover the roads were all dirt. So now that I'm much older it gives me the privilege and opportunity to see the beauty of our country. Thanks again for the rawness.
I love your coverage and appreciate the commentary. Just a quick note, that area where you saw the bulk of garbage on the right, is actually a dumping area (for houses in that area) which aren't along the main road , for when the garbage truck passes. Not making excuses for the sporadic littering though.
I was literally on the edge of my seat watching this video. I’ve to give you props for showing this location. It was riveting! Hell no; I will not live there. Regards,

@@JBsManCave Unfortunately, I have not been to this island, but I definitely want to come here, probably for a month, to enjoy it all to the fullest. The closest to that island I've been to, I don't know if it's Suriname or Costa Rica. I loved the architecture of this church, it resembles an old colonial warehouse
@@JBsManCave Thanks for the suggestion and wise advice. I myself come from Estonia (near Finland). I think you're almost living in paradise. Estonia does not have such a fantastic diversity of species, pleasant warm weather and beautiful mountains, paradise beaches,... winters are hellishly cold and snow removal is tedious. Some good things are, for example, even in EU terms, a good healthcare, good school system that helps children with special needs, I can appreciate that as a parent.🙂
Heikki, the grass is always greener on the other side... I'm sure you have heard that expression. In my situation, I would give up sun and 'paradise' for better health care and support for my children! The country here is beautiful as far as nature goes, no doubt, but is plagued by a lack of infrastructure, proper planning and restrictions that is tearing it up. I address some of those issues on my channel.
Darren, they are setting up some guest houses up there so if you wanted to stay that can be one way, but for me the best way is to backpack up there with a guide.
I honestly don't know if I can do it again, but been there done that when it wasn't that developed 45 years ago. My best friend growing up but we lost touch over the years last time I seen him was 19 years ago at my mother's funeral. Curtis Bosielle .
Mitra, thank you kindly. This video is only part 1, feel free to look at the others: Ever heard of La Vigie, Paramin in Trinidad? ruclips.net/video/h1APYW019z8/видео.html Paramin Road Trip part 2 village in the mountains! ruclips.net/video/n5D1L9fM_TI/видео.html
Thank you JB!Paramin indeed has a rich history, and the hills overlooking the sea are beautiful especially if you are high up on road. Great video as always ! ☀️Would love you to do a vid on Santa Cruz as you go through the mouth of the hill 🌴
Eagle, thank you kindly. I should have videos passing through there as I have videos on the Green Market and La Pastora Settlement. It may be among my earlier videos.
I was born and grew up in this village, Learnt to drive on Paramin Road and learnt to reverse in the junction by the school. From the corner starting morne cyril road I would reverse to the junction😂😂. Yes lots still speak patois. I reside in New Jersey presently but intend to retire back in my village of birth, but I will not drive on that Morne Rene Road no no sah.
@@JBsManCave what? no I absolutely love living up here, the views are absolutely beautiful and picturesque especially because I love photography, the traditions, I love it all! ❤️ especially during Carnival time, that's my favorite part and during Christmas for Parang.
Good day JB,Enjoyed this trip very much,@11:08/21:41, I wonder why they paved the road around the mango tree? any thoughts why? I also heard in time past when outside people visited Paramin they used to "pick" the produce near the roadway, don't know if that is continued ?
Jameel, glad you enjoyed the road trip. For the mango tree, probably because digging it up would be more of a chore, in my opinion. Can't say about that last question, maybe someone from Paramin can answer that.
I'm from Paramin (living in Canada); I often wonder about the mango tree and the most logical thing I can think of is the roots of large trees tend to support/ hold up the land on the hills, so this could be why.
You keep saying that one would need 4x4 vehicles to get up the hills, yet you're passing Tiidda, Y12, and lancer. Guess the folks up there really know how to make it happen with limited resources.
Ryan, good observation... you watched the whole video or part 2? You do need 4x4 for a truck like mine or other heavy vehicle but lighter vehicles that aren't full to capacity... in other words just the driver and maybe one passenger could go up. I do mention this in the video at some point.
Ryan, cool. After seeing this one you can go on to part 2 which shows a different path to go up and leave as well: ruclips.net/video/n5D1L9fM_TI/видео.html
@@JBsManCave you came up Morne Rene passed 4 of my cousins houses, then when you reached the end by Mr. Sonny house you turned right on Cacoa Road where you said it was Cameron Road, you drove down Cacoa Hill, stopped by Bertie Shop where the lady had a small provision stall. Cameron road is after Campbell and Marzaylee which goes down to Petit Valley.

What a drive 😮😮😮
Thanks for watching 🙏 Paramin, Trinidad.

Thanks for your thoughts on Paramin, Trinidad. There is a part 2 of this that you might like to see and I have a full video on Diego Martin too.

Thanks for the clarification and thoughts about Paramin, Trinidad.
Hey Good Morning Bro...
First of all much tanks for the tour those hill's looks too scary not to live but adventures Yes yes 🤭
Greets. Thanks for your input into Paramin, Trinidad. This is part one, did you see part two?
I was literally on the edge of my seat watching this video. I’ve to give you props for showing this location. It was riveting! Hell no; I will not live there. Regards,
Kono, thanks for watching. do lookout for Part 2 in the future.
I can't I can't I can't! Barely made it through the video. Loved it though.
Rayann what is it that you "can't"? Afraid of heights?
@@JBsManCave I am very afraid of heights and falling. I can barely stay on my feet because my knees go weak.
Ah, my father had the same thing... there is a part 2 to this trip if you dare: ruclips.net/video/n5D1L9fM_TI/видео.html
Personally for me this is the best video of Trinidad 🇹🇹 I love the mountain drive and view 🇹🇹👍
Jenny, considering the number of various videos you watch that is quite the compliment.

I enjoyed the drive. Very good video. These roads would be even more challenging to navigate at night. Very nice part of the country.

This popped up in my recommendations today. Paramin is famous for one of my favorite things - Royal Castle pepper sauce!!!
Oh cool, did you watch? 😉 I'm vegan, but what is the connection to pepper sauce?
@@JBsManCave Supposedly they grow the peppers and herbs and spices there. I think Paul Keens Douglas did the voiceover for the radio ad.
I see.
it is a good idea to go and visit this beautiful fairytale island. And many thanks for the videos of this island, to their creator, Jean Borde
Heikki near to the release date. You have been here before?
@@JBsManCave Unfortunately, I have not been to this island, but I definitely want to come here, probably for a month, to enjoy it all to the fullest.
The closest to that island I've been to, I don't know if it's Suriname or Costa Rica. I loved the architecture of this church, it resembles an old colonial warehouse
Ah Ok, make sure to go with a guide when you come. Where do you hail from?
@@JBsManCave Thanks for the suggestion and wise advice. I myself come from Estonia (near Finland). I think you're almost living in paradise.

Thanks for sharing your experience.
Is like how trucks 🚚 went up there to drop off materials.
Nirmala, yes, must have been quite an effort.
Same thing I want too know
Really beautiful place and video love to visit one day good information to bro keep up the good work ❤

Ah was real mashin de brakes here bro 😂
Hey, I was pressing the X for more fuel to get up those ridiculously steep inclines. Look out for Part 2 this week!
Thanks for giving us an idea of how the area has changed
Merchant, thank you kindly.
I really enjoyed this video !
Sandra, that's great, what did you enjoy about it?
I was born and grew up in this village, Learnt to drive on Paramin Road and learnt to reverse in the junction by the school.

Annie, thanks for sharing your experiences of Paramin. Did you see Part 2? Check it here: ruclips.net/video/n5D1L9fM_TI/видео.html
you should try passing down La Finette or Meyah road
When you finish this one you can look at Part 2: ruclips.net/video/n5D1L9fM_TI/видео.html to see where else I have been.
Question: what's your mph on the mountains. Sometimes it seems very fast.
Not sure, but going up here is not a speedy affair at all so may just be the perspective of the camera.
What a beautiful area
Merchant, thanks for watching.
walking up the hill at 8:13 is absolute hell😭😭
Do you still live up Paramin, Trinidad?
@@JBsManCave yes I do😌
You don't seem to be happy living up there?
@@JBsManCave what?
no I absolutely love living up here, the views are absolutely beautiful and picturesque especially because I love photography, the traditions, I love it all! ❤️
especially during Carnival time, that's my favorite part and during Christmas for Parang.
Do you all still keep up the tradition of going house to house with a Parang band?

So beautiful, I would love to live there, but alas Im not too sure of my driving skills 🤭
Michelle, thanks for your input. If you were living up there I'm pretty sure your driving skills will quickly adapt. 😉
Lol, thanks JB. It’s amazing how you can live somewhere and not know of all the beauty it has, but that’s why we have you right! 😊
Michelle, that is nice of you to say. Please let others know so they can Subscribe for free and share in the eye candy as well.

My friend welcome to my
Dianne, welcome to my?
How does was@ get water up dey???
Pumps? Trucks?
What's the elevation in Jamaica 🇯🇲 we have many mountain towns .
Pete, around 2500-3000 feet.
My hubby is from Summerhill, st James parish I love it as the village reminds me of Paramin.
I thought moncoco was in Diego Martin start in Four Roads?
Oscar, it is "Morne Coco" Road and it stretches from the Western Main Rd. by Westmoorings to Saddle Road in Maraval.
What time of day I see car parked so people are home what day of the week is it?
In the video, it has "some day in June", you can always have a guess. 😉
You came out on Cacoa road from Morne Rene not Cameron Road.
Annie, Cacoa is further up, where I came out was Cameron.
@@JBsManCave you came up Morne Rene passed 4 of my cousins houses, then when you reached the end by Mr. Sonny house you turned right on Cacoa Road where you said it was Cameron Road, you drove down Cacoa Hill, stopped by Bertie Shop where the lady had a small provision stall. Cameron road is after Campbell and Marzaylee which goes down to Petit Valley.
Condensation from d clouds😂
OK, although I don't know what you are answering or commenting about.
I never like driving on this road..just too narrow, not sure if i would arrive alive.....what day was video done...not much traffic.
Bryan, once you take the precautions mentioned in the video you should be fine.

What do you love about Paramin, Trinidad?
I think paramin is more influenced by French
Thanks for your input.
yes it was
there's a lot of French history up here and a lot of old people speak Creole, Patois (Broken French)
