Rainforest Hike - Tobago

Tobago's 14,000 acre virgin evergreen rainforest has been protected by law since l776 which makes it the oldest in the Western Hemisphere.
While hiking the muddy trail in our rented wellingtons we spotted many extraordinarly colourful birds. I was thrilled to get a photo of a blue headed mot mot.
We saw a termits nest on a tree, vast amounts of huge bamboo and 2 waterfalls during our 3 hour hike.
As well, we saw a snake in the rafters of an outdoor shelter and heard about the boa constrictors that live in the area.
