- I manage to meet a lovely family in the northern range and was delighted to do a story on them, it was fun, i even learn some valuable stuff from them.
A family who engulf their self's with nature.
Never knew about this spectacular lookout, it is actually behind their home, it is better than the view from the roadside.
One last thing, i shot the video on a misty day, so seeing it from this video may not do much justice.

Really impressed with their community spirit. The Ministry of Agriculture or Tourism should honor the family by rewarding them with an income package for their social duties.
I was really impressed my self, I was not thinking that house was responsible for keeping that place like that, on till I enquiry about the view, got to interact with them. I was amazed, if we could get more people to think like them, we would look like Tobago. The government should really reward them.
I totally agree with you 💯 because when looking at the video everywhere is CLEAN also the Ministry of Tourism should organise tours and place adds for tourists and local alike to visit places like this💯. Also the Ministry of Agriculture should invest in this initiative because the plants that grows in the area are natural medicine, even the soil seems to be very fertile whereby perishable can be grown in the area
@@rodneyjoseph6059 I think the Ministry of Tourism they should invest some finance in that area the family treat it really good love dat
Very impressive .I agree this family needs to be recognized for their level of commitment to the country's natural environment. I would like to see this love for community and environment spread throughout Trinidad.
I agree with the income package they deserve the support.
Las Lapas meaning the macaws or clinging vines. I have asked people in the area about the meaning but could not find anyone who knows. You can get to this spot via the Arima Blanchisseuse Road or from Lopinot if you have a 4X4, or a 1hr hike along the road. One of the best views in Trinidad and certainly one of the cleanest maintained privately by Mr. James & family. Strange thing, some Trinis will come here and comment on the cleanliness but still throw rubbish down the hill and even in front of the man house. Mr. James tirelessly cleans nonetheless. Very generous and grateful guy. I will bet if you ever put money into his donation box you will end up with something from his garden to carry home. I once got 3 ripe cocoa and a bunch of bananas after dropping something in the box. This guy and his family are really friendly to all visitors.
Some powerfull words here, and you are so right, you describe this family very well. Excellent message here. Thanks a lot sir.
Nothing like living the natural life...the views...the ocean...peace perfect peace...the leaves are for the healing of the nation...love the ambiance...love n light to the James family...✌✌✌❤❤❤👌👌❤🤗🤗🤗😇😇😇🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹👐👐👐
Their children are lucky n blessed
Blessings not thing but pure love and I love this family very humble let the blessings rain upon them allways 1 love
Thank you for the directions.
A family who knows the true riches of life 🙌🏾🙏🏾🎁👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I agree 100%
Live free.
Be free minded
I always say I could live in the forest, it's a good life should be no problems, grow your own food, should live longer too.
I would like to know the other name for aguma, I was a child with shingles, that's what my parents gave me to drink the exact as well to put on the affected area. Thank you. I am also from Paramin, Trinidad, up in the mountains. Blessings
What you need to know is that families living in rural communities in Trinidad are not like rich whites who chose to unplug and simplify their lives rather they cannot afford to live close to proper amenities and are most likely a 3rd or 4th generation who knows no other area as home.
@@Husiff ⁷ the ⁷
@@neddssl yeah
Those children are experiencing a richness that most city kids will never understand in their lives. Amazing.
So true
You are blessed. Your innocence is your riches. Don't get blighted by the material things of this world. God is providing, he knows what is your needs. You are in paradise. I hope that your lifestyle doesn't change after this because many people are going to want to invade now. You are one in ten million. God be with you and your family. Stay blessed. Hope I get a chance to visit this place sometime soon. And for the host, don't let anyone dampened your,spirits. You did a good job. Continue your good work. Walk with God. Stay blessed.
Hey, very interesting message, thanks a million, you motivated me. Very inspiring message.
God's continuing blessings with your heaven on earth creation. You are indeed rich!
WELL SAID INDEED INDEED!! Nothing to beat A Joyous spirit..
Mr &Mrs James, you have such beautiful children. God's, Blessings are shining all around you!
We often hear about carnival or curry,or music,but we never hear or see the natural beauty of Trinidad! I hope to see more videos, I always felt that the island was secretly beautiful!

I love this so so much. Being a Trini myself, it was beautiful to see my country from a different angle.
Thanks a lot for your comment, I would try and bring you more good content. Our country is beautiful, we have to be the same in our hearts. Share the love
@@Husiff You are very talented
agree
I am proud to say I know this family and can call them friends. When you visit them, you leave feeling blessed and enlightened in spirit and you never leave empty-handed - you are sure to be given some kid of fruit, vegetable or plant. They are a wonderful genuine loving couple. The kids are a delight. When you visiting Carry something for them...no matter how small- at least for the kids.
Very true, thanks a lot and happy new year. Really appreciate your comment
I will closed my eyes and eat in their yard they are very clean people please I want Randon Mitchell to see this.video so the government can help them nice family this is what we need in Trinidad
Lol, yes they are very very clean people, they amazed me
Randall Mitchell
The moment the government sees this it will go to the ground so I don't think that is what Las Lapas needs
I strongly agree with this .... these people look very nice and friendly people ....
Well said anything good for your immune system is good for your whole body. That man is a doctor without a degree.
Lol, he really speak so genuine, really in to his herb as he share it with us. Thanks for your comment
Ministry of tourism should pay them for up keeping the place. Lovely family. God bless them.
What a sweet, kind , humble family. God Bless them, they are doing his work keeping Las Lapas pristine.
Thanks a lot.
I pray God shower his blessings on Mr. James and his family, sending much love from Mississauga Ontario Canada ❤❤❤🇨🇦
Hey, thanks a lot, wishing you all the best as well.
I grew up in Mississauga. Great city!
We should not wait on the Government to assist them let us all contribute what ever we can to them when we visit them and we should also make and share videos of this place so the world will see this priceless treasure
Wowww.. Almost like being in the garden of Eden
This is what I called living.. These people more happy than those living in mansion.. But to live in Devine Nature is the most beautiful for one soul.. However, keep out OUTSIDER'S because when people start to Enter the place get destroyed.. Land's start cutting down N Tree's! Keep it Organic.. Look how happy those kids are even the animals too with tons of Joy.. Thanks for sharing this video much appreciated
I LOVE THE MUSIC IN THIS VIDEO. Calming.
It feel like early day of waking sunlight hits my energy and refreshing feeling in the morning of wanting to clean the environment to keep a clean nature. I love the calming music that is playing.
Glad this video popped up in my feed. What a kind and gracious family. A family that prays, play and work together, stay together. Blessings from Jamaica 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Blessing to you as well.
Won’t lie ... this made me emotional. Just a beautiful video
Thanks for sharing, beside, it's all good. 😁 smile
Me toooooo
Why would people go up there and trash such a beautiful place. Thank you James family for keeping the place pristine.
Lol, hmmm you find people doing all sort of crazy things, we share the world with caring and uncaring people, but seems like the be the better person works, you help who can't and who dont. The World is still going, think I want to help do some cleaning on this island some time. Maybe I might come up with an idea.
@@Husiff true
I would luv to visit this place, it is so beautiful. God bless this family, they look so happy.
I have stopped and passed several times at this breathtaking spot and met this family , They are a hard working nature concious family. In their small piece of paradise they have done more for tourism than all the governments we have ever had.
Hmmm, I would have to side with you until I get better knowledge. I actually really think we need to do more. We our country, I always admire Tobago, let's have the same in Trinidad Nah.
I declare GOD BLESSINGS always to be upon your wonderful family.
Thank you, blessing to you as well.
I've been to that lookout many times and that place is always beautiful, clean and well kept. Never knew that family is responsible for it being so well kept. The place is always so cold and seems to have something magical. That lookout is the highest in Trinidad and Tobago at 600 plus meters. Directly above it is tstt stratospheric tower at closer to 700 meters . Truly beautiful.
Yes, you know your thing. Thank for your comment. I learn some stuff here
Real nice me too
I see this couple and i think back the novel, A Brighter Sun by Samuel Selvon. He is so Tiger and she is shy and reserved like i think Urmilla would be. Awwww. Such a cute down to earth family.
Omg just recently I was trying to remember the name of that novel I read in literature class. Scrolling through the comments and found it !!! Thanks.
Beautiful family...a sense of how Trinis once’s lived. Hopefully and I’ll pray for dem that those bandits wouldn’t go to their neighborhoods and stain it with violence and murders...robberies. Beautiful area...WOW! Nice video 👍🏽 GOD bless!
They would be ok, positive vibes, but I know we can't turn a blind eye to crime. Let's hope for the best, thanks for your contribution. Love and respect. Bless
It might be too far for the bandits to hang out but they would do anything to get what they want.
Had to come back a second time, you could really feel the love coming right thru the screen . A true meditation. These vlogs should be shown in hospitals and other places to uplift people. Positive vibrations, healing. Thank you again and to the family.
Lol, you inspire me to do better, lol
I could feel your vibes, thanks so much.
@@Husiff yes sir, indeed.
I visited the lookout and had the opportunity to meet the James family. Words cannot do justice to describe the beauty of this place nor the warmth and hospitality of the James family. I absolutely cannot wait to visit again.
Who ever hate this video has no heart swear this is what you call good people 🌿❤️🙏🏾 we need more people like this in the world and in Trinidad on the whole wow....truly heart warming ✨🙏🏾
Sometimes people see things you don't see, some times people interpretation the message wrong, sometimes we don't know what to believe because of experience, there is a lot of contributing factors that could case a dislike, it's the opposition, we need it, don't worry about it. It helps, it helps in many different ways as well, they are doing there part. Stay true blessing to you my friend.
Would love to visit and hopefully donate to them once this pandemic calms down.
His daughter have a smile that would light up yr day . Beautiful family
Beautiful. Beautiful. I applaud your community spirit and appreciation of nature. Stunning views. Love from Jamaica 🇯🇲🇹🇹
thanks so much, I appreciate it.
This is one of my favorite spots in Trinidad. I've been here many times .The James family they are very hospitable and welcoming. They have made our visit enjoyable everytime we're there . His love for his family and nature is very genuine and pure. Am so happy to see where Michael and his Family have journeyed from to this day..very hard working people I only pray that he gets government help to maintain this jewel of Trinidad .May God bless The James Family..
Thanks for highlighting This Family and this beautiful location.
@@mariasongbird4475 hey, Maria thanks a lot, good to know you are a true testament of this family and you are able to share your experience with us, thanks a lot.
@@Husiff Indeed!!!! Keep doing what you do .
Bro I will like to go up there one day to visit and also take some stuff for the family. With out your help I do know if I can reach there. If you can help that will be wonderful. Can I go with a car?
@@arleammohammed5476 yes u can go with a car... but it's better with a van. Pot holes are huge.
Three really nice children.😍😍😍
God bless them.
beautiful
Thank you for sharing this beautiful part of Trinidad and the lovely family who care and look after the area. Best life ever they very lucky to wake up to such natural beauty everyday
Thanks a lot
Thanks a lot, you are most welcome.
This family is very Rich in cleanliness
The government should assess this family in all needs plzz
In every walks of life, there are people who reminds of people in the bible, humble and meek. God bless this family with good health and keep the family intact. With good health comes riches so I won't ask for riches for them.
The smile of content and happiness radiates from this family, especially from his wife. Excellent cinematography Husiff. Proud to be Trinidadian.
Family + community awareness. Thank you. God's blessings.
Omg I'm from central and feel so ashamed not knowing there's a place like this in our country ☹ so beautiful & also the family 🙏 God bless them, sure pure and kind hearted 🙏❤
Visit the east, thanks a lot.
The north is nice
Hi My name is Diane, I'm from Canada I left Trinidad at d age of 18yrs old, Its so nice to c u and your family such humble people, my love to u and your family LOL 🙏💛💚🧡❤👍🆒️
Thanks a lot, well pass on your blessing, have a great evening
I can never understand how some people will come into a beautiful, clean area like this and then throw their trash all over the place. This family is inspiring. Trinidad is a beautiful place with beautiful ppl.
Hmmm, it's something a lot of us been asking our self, how could that happen, but we share the island with so many different people, you would find a few don't care ones, but raising awareness could fix some of that.
@@Husiff so very true. You're doing great work btw bringing attention to these hidden gems. There are so many gorgeous places in trinidad, if we only find the time to appreciate it.
@@renatamarie5546 Try and find the time, disconnect from the city at times is very important to someones soul, slowing right down admire the things around you, look at it well, appreciation will grow inside you in a way you may have never known. You got to slow rite down at times.
WOW! I'd love to visit this beautiful place🙏❤😊
Thanks for the video brother..... brought some peace and serenity to my hectic, frantic existence. I would love to visit them.
Thanks for that video. I knew nothing about Trinidad's landscape. All they showed us was carnival. What majestic mountains? Beautiful family. Hello from 🇯🇲
you are welcome, blessing to you
Kindness should be rewarded... Tourist at least can be kind enough to lv a donation in gratitude for getting the opportunity to experience the visit, hospitality and compassion of the family there🤗👍👍👍👍✨✨✨appreciate your kindness 🤗👍👍✨
Thank you Husiff and the James family. 'When we glorify good, good will follow' watching this was a blessing.
Thanks you so much, i appreciate your lovely comment.
This touch meh 😭😭😭🇹🇹🇹🇹♥️♥️
Just beautiful i love my people of Trinidad and Tobago 😎😍😎
I live in Canada with all the conveniences and I will trade that lifestyle in a heartbeat.
That's a really healthy life style I do hope you get the help from the ministry you and your family is doing a great job keep up the great work may God richly bless you and your family lots of ❤️❤️❤️😇😇😇
Beautiful family....well kept....may God bless u n your family richly 🙏🙏🙏
A family of very kind people always willing to share water or a fruit 🙌
Yes that's true, lol amazing little team.
The young boy in the black shirt is all smiles and we should all smile like that when we work.
Lol lol, yes lol, I now went back and take a look lol, he seems really happy. Thanks a lot for your comment. Have a great day
Humble family! That man knows hard work
My heart felt elated on seeing this video of Mrs. A James and family! My mom would have loved to see this!
My dad too
Well done! Hats off to "Husiff". As a community we can assist the James Family. Your visit can also mean delivering needed supplies, kitchen utensils and anything that can ease their life. Certainly toys, stationery and books for those beautiful kids! Waiting for the gov't to step in will not happen, let's all assist.
Yes, this could be done, just need willing hands
That place is simply amazing. And they take so much pride in the cleanliness of their community. Very commendable. They are truly an example of beauty and kindness in service to their fellow man
I have been there twice. Simply beautiful and peaceful , and the family warm and hospitable.I could spend a week there only if they had accommodations. Amazing Northern Range right here in Trinidad !!
I am so pleased and blessed to know this place and hoping to visit soon. God bless you all.
He also has a nice humble wife, I would of like to hear her speak more though for herself, May God continue to bless your family
Such as amazing family... Trinidad and Tobago needs more people like them ... Such a clean and ambitious family ... this made me smile ☺
What a beautiful family and wow that view!!!! Can you imagine getting up in the morning and having your coffee looking at that view . The sound of the birds . Beautiful.
I love this family, my trini brother and sister setting an example a wonderful example of the island life. Simply, humble and so rich. Wow bless them oh lord provide for them and keep them safe. Love from your trini sister in England.
Thanks you, and keep safe out there.
I wonder if any MPs from the government is seeing this video. They should be compensated monthly for this. This is not easy work to keep this place clean if it is used for tourism. Also additional assistance for enhancements and ideas to the place should be given. Thanks for the video.
I hope someone could see it and pull them through, thanks for your contribution
There is no money in this for them ,so there be no interest
So happy to view this video and learn about this part of our country.
Such a delight to know that there is a family like the James' who care about nature and lives with nature.
They should receive assistance to continue their selfless work while maintaining their independence and unspoilt personalities. The children are charming. May God continue to bless and protect this family.
Or Trinis could simply stop littering😭
Absolutely beautiful
What a delight to watch. Thank you James family for caring for the place. I loved the video from the beginning. Then I saw the goat come towards him. What a beautiful family and property.
I am in awe at the peace & serenity of this place!!!.. God bless u & ur family Mr James
Love the rusticness of the video....brings out the authenticity and the true nature of the objects. Great job can't wait to see more
Thank you Mam, I will bring more, Trinidad is a great place. There are stories to tell.
Home sweet Home. Makes me tear up. Growing up in Trinidad, I can relate to this family. God bless and keep them safe...Trini 4 life..🙏👍❤
True conservationists in every sense of the world. Thanks for sharing the simplicity yet Beauty of this family's environs.
Lovely location, lovely family. Living naturally with their pharmacy growing all around them. Happy healthy and well-adjusted children. Massive respect!
Wonderful community spirit and contribution to out country. Bringing up children with good environmental values and citizenship. Hopefully citizens can learn to not litter in the first place.
Thank you Mam for your contribution, I wish our citizens. Can be the same as them, really clean people, down to earth as well.
Mr James become a tour guide and charge a fee it would help don't give your service for free
Such a beautiful place and a beautiful family.
They are absolutely blessed. Simple life, beautiful and God given, away from the material entrapment of the world! I hope they receive donations for the tools they need. God bless.
Thank goodness it still have someone willing to bring quality plus humanity to us because that is something that seems to be dwindling away thanks Mr.Husiff
thank you sir, there are good things to come. thanks a lot.
Being from Trinidad makes me proud of my country. I am home sick all the time.
@@valerienobbie9726 what's keeping you back, I know a lot of people look at the crime.
@@Husiff I have no one.All family is in the united states. I love St. Croix where i grew up too. lovely.
@@valerienobbie9726 where do you live?
i love them for everything that they do omg, what a beautiful family. God bless them.
Wow this place is so beautiful I would love to visit next time I come to Trinidad and even meet this amazing family
Wow Awesome Family, knowledgeable gentleman, he knows the land
Beautiful..... Hats off to them
As a Dominican from the Valley of Trafalgar I’m very familiar with nature. I think the Caribbean, the Antilles was once upon a time a solid mass of (unseparated) beauty.
😁 it's really could be
It reminded me about my younger days in the country
Beautiful peaceful calm heavenly to god be the James’s Glory.
I have stoped here so many times to eat ... remember feeding those dogs to ... but even though we saw people we never imagined they would be so welcoming and blessed at the same time.. they definitely could use some assistance but all in all they have what a lot of us don’t ..... may a god continue to bless And keep them .
This was beautiful. Hidden heroes protecting hidden gems.
Love how he eats the leaf,he really knows his thing. brilliant man all the best to his family
These kids r experiencing the best life. Full of love for their family and their home. I wish them continued peace.
Oh wow, how beautiful!!!! I left Trinidad 29 years ago and never heard of this place until tonight. I wish I could say I will visit, I am turned off by the crime. I do wish this family lots of success and I will be making a donation.
Mrs Patricia thanks a lot for your contribution, your kind words are greatly accepted. Be safe out there and have a great day.
Amen !
I could see how you would be turned off by crime, as Trinidad is ranked 6th by crime rate in the world, but the most gruesome of crimes are related to drugs and gang activity. They are concentrated in certain areas. Trinidad in general is not a dangerous place, and Tobago is generally safe overall. I hope you can revisit. There is so much to see here that I am discovering myself!
Teddy Quamina well said
I'm staying in America n I'm most scared...wen I see cops I wanna run because I'm soo scared ...Trinidad i feel very safe soo idk wat shes speaking about...America has alot of crime every hour is something n just like Trinidad its concentrated in certain areas.
God Bless you & your family. Great video of the most beautiful country on the planet 🇹🇹
🌸 15:24 wow that pink flowering weed on bottom right I loved playing with that when I visited my grandmother
I wished I could have stayed longer, I’ll never forget my blissful holidays in Trinidad 🇹🇹💕❤️
Heavenly. My type of lifestyle. So beautiful. I am touched. Amazing simplicity.
This video really got my attention.This family is so humble even though their village seems to be neglected by the authorities and the rising cost of living.They inspire me and I'm sure many others.Mrs.James said she does not work but she is a housewife,what she may not know is that she does one of the most demanding full time job right now.A housewife's job is 24 hours job.God bless her humble heart.I would surely love to visit this family and make them a part of my life.....I can learn alot from them. May the Good Lord cover this family with the blood of Jesus and protect them from this covid 19 virus and any physical or spiritual harm.May he go before them and make every crooked paths straight,may he cause his face to shine upon them and pour out his favour onto every area of their lives in Jesus holy name Amen.
Hey, powerful message, love it all.
Greatly appreciate your contribution.
Yes! Amen 😊
I am becoming increasingly nostalgic about home TnT ..this video reinforces it..Trinis da best folks on this planet...the beauty of these islands..thxs for sharing this gem....
Not a problem at all, all the best to you as well.
Had the pleasure of meeting this family. Really really lovely people!!!! I hope that they continue to be richly blessed 🙌🏻
thank you, really appreciate your feed back
I am in love with the purity and kindness of these people
Real respect for these pplez.

The man look like he does really work hard and take care of his things and family
Beautiful family, keep up the fantastic work. God bless you and your family.
