Hello friends! Hope you enjoy this drive with me up the mountains of PARAMIN, Trinidad Please do LIKE, Comment on what you liked about the video in the Comments area AND let your friends / family know about JB's Man Cave so they can Subscribe for FREE! Keep in mind this is PART 2, make sure to look for Part 1 and other videos about Paramin -- see the Description of this video.
I had to pause. Cracking up at your comment when you were talking about how fresh the air is up there then compared to Port of Spain. ” The whole ah Port of Spain could use ah bush bath” 😂😂😂. I remember as a kid the few times we went there thinking why did it smell so bad at certain areas. So now I know that hasn’t changed.
I'm originally from San Fernando but migrated many years ago. I never heard of Paramin when I lived in Trinidad. I learned about Paramin later on in life and I researched it and looked at videos on TH-cam and I say to myself I must go up there one day. I did in 2019. It was a wonderful experience. I hope when I visit 🇹🇹 this year I would love to do the trip again.
Thanks JB I support your videos very nice job showcasing my beautiful Trinidad and Tobago especially seeing you do this to support your autistic kids, I can relate to you cuz I have a special needs granddaughter... wish you the best.
Excellent Video! Enjoyed every bit! Thanks a lot much appreciated! 🙏🙏 My husband said that your videos are the best! Excellent conversations. Thoroughly enjoy.
Michelle, yes, some parts are like that but every time I go up there it becomes less green and more with concrete. i guess I lament because I know how it used to be.
Hey Bro. I'm from Diego Martin area, now living in Canada. I really enjoy watching your videos on the weekends. Apart from watching other videos on TH-cam. I rated you a 9 out of 10. Continue the good works.
Now, I am finding the time to watch this captivating road trip to Paramin. Went to Paramin as a young child, but not that far up. I would accept any opportunity to go on this trip, as long as I can be assured that the vehicle and the driver are safe and reliable. Actually felt like I was on this drive; thoroughly enjoyed it 💯👍
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. There are drivers for hire that take you up there. They are accustomed to traversing the roads and give tours too. There is also a Part 1 to this feel free to look at that one where I go on different roads: th-cam.com/video/6hOC38i9-2w/w-d-xo.html
The sky looks so close. An FYI for tourist or Trinis who have never been to the Maraval -Paramin area. Paramin is famous for planting seasoning - chive, pimento peppers, thyme etc. and vegetables. They also have an annual harvest a big event in November, and on Carnival Monday night Paramin is the place to be with the blue devils. Paramin is also known for parang music.
I had the opportunity to meet a very interesting person, he was from Trinidad, I was surprised that we have a lot in common, after I started to study everything about Trinidad, but there was little information, and by chance I saw your channel, thank you very much. (my birthday is the day of the Republic of Trinidad and Tabago)
That is interesting... and should I take it as a special interest? 😉 You will surely get both the good, bad and the ugly about Trinidad and Tobago on my channel because unlike the others I focus on the reality of things. I take it you have seen many of my videos on Ukraine? Please feel free to respond to them, it will be nice to have someone from there involved: th-cam.com/video/U4-1fX7qbsw/w-d-xo.html
Beautiful area but takes experienced drivers that's for sure. I expected Fond Pois Doux RD to lead to a dead end or lead to a private road but I'm surprised to see it's not the case.
Drove up to Paramin for the fist time for the Republic day holiday in a Toyota Aqua which handled it very well. I used the route which brought me to the junction at 30:05 and turned right....
@@JBsManCave Just 2 persons, me included. The car made it in normal drive mode with an average speed of 15 kph on the inclines. The cuts in the road added extra grip.
Hey brother great vids. Want to go up Paramin this week. I have a manual car. A friend said his Tucson strained to go up to the lookout. I was told by a resident to take the North Coast Road and then head wherever. Do you think the drive is manageable in the manual car (not van)?
@@JBsManCave I reached up to the lookout but I did not go up to Paramin. Instead I went over via the Fond Pois Doux Road off of the North Coast Road on the advice of the resident.
Nope JB I won’t be going up there when I hopefully visit in June. I don’t like heights and the no rail thing has me very weary. I understand that it’s very expensive for the government to fund something like that but considering how close the houses are to the road especially at the “drop off” kind of turns 😳😧 I really think something should be implemented for at least certain spots. You’ll literally fall right on top of someone’s house. But what a beautiful drive minus the garbage. Love all of the trees. I think I’ve heard that the soil is very rich there also.
Camile, yes, but they are smaller in size than the ones in North America, but still it is quite an accomplishment considering our tropical temperatures.
Jazzy, you could so long as your vehicle can handle steep inclines and you are not with a lot of weight. I would also suggest getting to the lookout via the North Coast Road and not the usual way people use to get up Paramin.
the person coming up the hill have the right way but also the driver coming down have to take it on the turns what is very steep or have to wait for the one what is coming up the hill to pass first
I live up in Paramin and I myself am also a sucker for the views, so beautiful. Should definitely come, so many places to experience, from the rivers to the small beaches and views. And there's people from Paramin doing tours with Maxi's and jeeps so would recommend that. If you ever visit hope you have fun and enjoy it❤
as someone from Paramin I would more call it the countryside since people always mention village when they say Paramin. But I wouldn't call Paramin a village since it's a pretty big place, so yes it's kind of a countryside
JB in New York when you purchase a movie ticket you also purchase a seat, so there is no picking and choosing. Is it the same way in Trinidad? I honestly have forgotten.
Michelle, that only takes place in certain cinemas here. Even so, they allow you to choose where you want to sit so in the end they look for somewhere close to the next person.
But Sir you sound very young I will be 63 this year and I never experience that dirt road you are talking about, my grandmother died at 94 in 2000s and she told us about the dirt road back in her days. People who walked those roads when it was dirt they are now in their 90s.
I went to paramin once and the furthest i reach was by the R.c church i could tell you i will not drive up there you have more belly than a calabash you well good man. Lovely view 🌟⭐🌟🌟
Can you make videos from every point to end in the country, can you make videos traveling most of the roads in Trinidad it will really help me to get about my country, I don't know my country that good seeing how to get around in TH-cam make it better, Google Map don't really give you that but it takes you there. Cool videos keep making more how to know most of the roads in the country, for the next generation of drivers like me
@@JBsManCave I think Adesh was responding to the part where you talk about your vegan lifestyle closer to the end of the video. Thanks for posting these videos btw

Camille, glad to bring some joy. However, Port of Spain has gotten worst: Has Port of Spain been abandoned? th-cam.com/video/zckii2jjemk/w-d-xo.html
@@JBsManCave Oh no. Now I’ll know what to expect. We’ll be staying at the Hyatt if we go. I’ll watch that next. Thanks!

Rhona, thanks for watching and please convey my appreciation to your husband.
It is an awesome great adventure....screamed going up and down so I'm satisfied...never again...and at night....🤣🤣🤣🤣 I survived. ...
Stephanie, you are funny.
JB my favorite thing was the greenery with the hills and just the peacefulness and the sense of oneness with nature.
Michelle, yes, some parts are like that but every time I go up there it becomes less green and more with concrete. i guess I lament because I know how it used to be.
Thanks!
Thank you kindly, much appreciate the donation towards the work involved in this Paramin, Trinidad road trip. 🙏
JB we appreciate your talking for us!!

Thanks JB ! Going to watch in a little bit 😊👍🇹🇹🇺🇸☀️
Hey Eagle, cool. Thanks for your messages in the chat too, could not respond at the time and the premier ended right after.
@@JBsManCave hey 👋 no problem :-) Hope you & your fam have a nice eve 🌟✨🌙
@@JBsManCave hey JB you know where we’re going to go when we get back home to T& T? A drive up Paramin & I won’t be scared 😁
Eagle, that's cool, you are going to drive up yourself or be driven?
Yes if was a tourist I would be delighted. I like looking at the houses. It's beautiful
Rosemarie, thanks for sharing your opinion.
It's an absolutely beautiful place but I do agree that more can be done to enhance it.
Ricko, thanks for watching beautiful Paramin, Trinidad.
I do appreciate your videos, I love the comfort of your voice/ accent

Thank you kindly. What made this Paramin video excellent for you?
I had to stop after 25 mins....🤦♂️will complete tomorrow please God....good job J.B....excellent driving...stay safe
Stephanie, thank you kindly, you stay safe as well.
Beautiful area but takes experienced drivers that's for sure. I expected Fond Pois Doux RD to lead to a dead end or lead to a private road but I'm surprised to see it's not the case.
Thanks for your comments.
What a crazy mountainous drive...my gosh...tourist would like it....people usually enquire about tours before going....but wow...not for me....
Stephanie, thanks for watching. Someone with vertigo or a fear of heights may not like it.
lol
I'm from Paramin and I'm also surprised and concerned seeing people be able to make it up the roads if they've never been.
Drove up to Paramin for the fist time for the Republic day holiday in a Toyota Aqua which handled it very well. I used the route which brought me to the junction at 30:05 and turned right....
Thanks for sharing your experience driving up there. How many people were in your vehicle including yourself?
@@JBsManCave Just 2 persons, me included. The car made it in normal drive mode with an average speed of 15 kph on the inclines. The cuts in the road added extra grip.
Ah OK, thanks for answering. How did you enjoy up there?
Hey brother great vids. Want to go up Paramin this week. I have a manual car. A friend said his Tucson strained to go up to the lookout.

Sounds good, glad you were able to get to the lookout.

Camile, thanks for your comments as always. Yes, the soil is good and the atmosphere just right that they can even grow strawberries up there.
@@JBsManCave Wow Strawberries
Camile, yes, but they are smaller in size than the ones in North America, but still it is quite an accomplishment considering our tropical temperatures.
GOVERNMENT should be able to provide proper roads in every corner of T&T. We have a Billion $$ economy which is being squandered and stolen.
Could u make it up with a car to the lookout?
Jazzy, you could so long as your vehicle can handle steep inclines and you are not with a lot of weight. I would also suggest getting to the lookout via the North Coast Road and not the usual way people use to get up Paramin.
U ARE A BLESSING THANKS,, NOW SAW PORT OF SPAIN,,, DIFFERENT FROM WHAT I KNEW, 😂😂❤
Thank you kindly. You can see all my video via this easy to use video map: jbsmancave.com/trinidad-and-tobago-road-trip-map/
the person coming up the hill have the right way but also the driver coming down have to take it on the turns what is very steep or have to wait for the one what is coming up the hill to pass first
Knight, thanks for your input.
I love the mountains. I never been to paramin
Rosemarie, it is a whole different experience of Trinidad. You should plan to visit next time.
@@JBsManCave on my next visit

Should definitely come, so many places to experience, from the rivers to the small beaches and views.
And there's people from Paramin doing tours with Maxi's and jeeps so would recommend that.

it's a lovely views. is this the country side? Mr. JB"
Hey, just "JB" will suffice. Yes, great views. You could call it "country side" but I doubt the people of Paramin see it that way.
as someone from Paramin
I would more call it the countryside since people always mention village when they say Paramin.
But I wouldn't call Paramin a village since it's a pretty big place, so yes it's kind of a countryside

What kind of herbs in Paramin?
The place the vehicle stopped at minute 44 is The north deck
Rick, thanks for the info.
All the roads on right and left will take you to ppl garden and we that live in paramin will always give a strange vehicles the right away
Thanks for your input.
But Sir you sound very young I will be 63 this year and I never experience that dirt road you are talking about, my grandmother died at 94 in 2000s and she told us about the dirt road back in her days. People who walked those roads when it was dirt they are now in their 90s.

You have the right of way...for safety sake....like you said no railing so driving on your side should get a break...
Yeah, they need to put some rails, in fact, many places I drove are like that.
People need to stop putting their garbage

I already have that. See: jbsmancave.com/trinidad-and-tobago-road-trip-map/
I myself as a Paraminian don't want to drive on Paramin roads😭😭
Why is that?
@@JBsManCave the road is so scary to drive up, the sharp corners and steep hills
Beau Pres road is the worst part
For me, the scariest part are the drivers who do not allow clearance especially around the bends.
La vige guava real sweet😂
I have a specific video for La Vigie: th-cam.com/video/h1APYW019z8/w-d-xo.html
That drive ,look just like Philippines and driving into provence areas
Adesh, you are from the Philippines?
I couldn't do it. I'll have someone drive me. Can't imagine driving there at night.
JO, whenever you visit please let us know how Paramin was for you.
Just looking on I'm feeling anxiety...
Stephanie, if there was a million dollars at the top waiting for you would you drive up? 😉
@@JBsManCave no sir....I'd cry...and cry....can't go up
