Our Vision
A community that is committed to the conservation of our regions’ resources and to provide for the enhancement of our villagers’ lives through sustained economic development in a visitor friendly environment.
BRASSO SECO PARIA TOURISM ACTION COMMITTEE (B.S.P.T.A.C.) was formed as a Community Based Organization (CBO) in 1997. We are now registered as a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) since 2017. This organization is operating and nestled between the mountainous rainforests of the Northern Range of El Cerro Del Aripo. Brasso Seco Paria is originally known for an area of cocoa and coffee estates or plantation fields. It is a hidden treasure that is any Eco-visitor’s dream come true. Featuring the most pristine and energizing hiking trails, traditional styled Agro-Tourism Sites and Indigenous meals, cuisines and delicacies. Brasso Seco Paria Tourism Action Committee was established to enhance the lives of our villagers and conserve the areas’ resources through Sustained Economic Development. Our main objective and priority has always been about conserving the environment, giving back to our community (assisting senior citizens, school children etc), enhancing knowledge and educating both our foreign and local visitors and our surrounding communities. We have dedicated our energy into projects such as Eco & Agro Tourism, Turtle Conservation and the Protection of the Environment. On September 20th, 2010 we launched an Exotic Cocoa and Coffee tasting event at the Cascadia Hotel in collaboration with the Inter-America Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (I.I.C.A.), Ministry of Tourism and Ministry of Agriculture. After the tasting event, our organization was known as the catalyst for initiating island-wide cocoa revival in Trinidad and Tobago.
