Paramin Trinidad , A village lost in time ! Bring back the old time ways !!!

- To the uninitiated, the road to Paramin resembles a slim river of asphalt racing down an impossibly steep valley. Heading left off the main Maraval crossroads (or from the Morne Coco Road that winds its way from Diego Martin), it climbs precipitously to the village’s main junction, a three-way meeting of narrow roads, where the shops, parlours, church and school all converge.
On weekdays, it is still and quiet save for the buzz of schoolchildren; most of Paramin’s four thousand residents are at work, many in the fields they have etched into the high hillsides of the Maraval Valley.
This is a community where everyone knows who you are: there are only five major families. The elders speak warily of their oral history. A dark tale of lusty slave masters and beautiful black maidens fleeing to an agricultural safe haven. Forget it, they whisper. It can’t be verified. There are no records… Forget it.
Much of Paramin is like this: a people who live virtually cut off from the rest of the world. They speak Patois (or Kwéyòl), a variety of the (Caribbean) French Creole language, quite unlike the Spanish spoken among elders in other parts of Trinidad. The farmers work their land intimately, with a tenderness that would not be out-of-place in a pediatric nurse. Their crops of cabbage, tomato, thyme and sweet peppers provide the basis of a famous brand of seasonings and pepper sauce, prepared by hand and bottled here with the same sense of detail and correctness.

Paramin is truly a hidden treasure...beautiful and captivating sights indeed 💚💚
I agree with you completely and I hope that it stays that way for a long time 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
@@Trini_Surfer I hope so as well ❤️🙏🏽
My brother, I feel like this video needs a part 2 and maybe a part 3. Great content 👍
I truly appreciate your support and kindness my friend 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 that place definitely deserves a sequel to the first vid 🇹🇹
My grandparents are from Paramin. I'm exited about the soon completion of the lookout as persons from the village and by extension Trinidad and Tobago deserve a high quality facility with shelter, running water and toilet facilities, this project employees consist of 90 to 100 percent highly skilled workmen from Paramin which makes it even more amazing. When completed this lookout will be second to non in the Caribbean. #ParaminHasSkills
That’s awesome man 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼💯 your grandparents live in an amazing place for real 🇹🇹. Lets hope the deck can finally be finished in the near future so we can all enjoy it again 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
sometimes I'm surprised my country has places this beautiful after living in the city for so long :')
we have so much beauty to offer !!
THANK u TRINI Surfer ,Land of my birth, Don't Don t allow any one to distroy Stand firm .thank.
You are welcome my friend 🙏🏼🙏🏼🇹🇹
as a Paraminian, i loved this video😁 it was fun to watch ! it inspired me to make videos like this myself. great content🔥💯
Thank you so much bud and i hope you do go and make content as well. It’s important to show off our beautiful country 🌱🌱🌱
Very beautiful video.... I have never been to paramain but this video made me realize just how much of a treasure this place is.... the people there have every right to be so guarded of it.... you should do a part 2 and 3 soon !!!
Haha 😆 you are absolutely right and I definitely need to make some follow up videos on this amazing place ✅✅🇹🇹
i am from paramin its an really nice place to live also really quite but as any other area it has its nuisance and fools and etc but its really nice and it also has alot of 197o land crusiers up here do to its 4x4 and power.
Yes 🙌🏼 those land cruisers are epic ✅✅✅
Every where has fools yes haha 😂
But overall, paramin is an amazing area 💯
My best friend from Paramin, but this video is more vivid than actually going there. And you right about the people. They more humane than people
You are absolutely correct about the people up there!

@Dani Mooti you can come home very soon haha 😂. Finally life can move forward just a little bit
@Donte marcano i am also sorry to hear that. They definitely hide the negative side well as i was completely unaware 😞😞😞
Paraminians always friendly and their stories are epic, gotta have to respect their way of life, plus the air just different up on that side, fresher if such thing exists here, lol, nice one bro...also if anyone visiting, I highly recommend buying any fruits or fresh herbs y'all see selling, can't go wrong
Everything you just said is spot on bro 😎. Great people and such amazing fresh seasoning and herbs 🪴. I love to support that community when i am up there !! And the air is just divine ✨✨✨

Very beautiful..love it
Such an amazing place to go 💎💎💎
Magnificent video Alan. I remember such a wonderful area in my youth in the 1980’s ( in my early 20’s back then), when you’d better have a Jeep because no car could make it up there without a serious struggle. I just subscribed as I happened by chance on your video and was very impressed by your presentation. I’m also sad to see that some idiot ( I’m guessing from the government), decided to try and turn such a beautiful, lush area into a “concrete jungle” for a few dollars. Yes, I agree, Paramin seasoning is the best. I know it well! Now that TNT borders has just opened up in the last week, I wish you and my fellow Trinbagonians all the best! Thank you!
Thank you so much buddy and yes paramin has the best seasoning around bo doubt. I am so so happy the boarders are open but we still have a long way to go before any type of normal life can resume.
I hope you can visit here soon 🔜 and drive a jeep up into the hills again 💯❤️🤍🖤
Thanks bro great job I'm always in paramin such a lovely place
Thank you so much 😊 for watching ✅ have an amazing day 🇹🇹
From trini, but never been to Paramin. I have to get up there.
You definitely need to get there ✔️✔️👌🏼
Love paramin, it's beautiful
I completely agree with you 🤩🇹🇹 so much beauty in that area ❤️🔥
My friend, there's a lot more to show, I was up there recently and it's very beautiful and like you said the villagers are very friendly, on that note you should do another part as the country has more relaxed covid measures in place. Keep up the great work work.
Thank you so much for your support and love ❤️. I am aware there is so much more to see and explore in this place and i full intend on doing so !
Respect from Germany 💖 I'm married with a woman from Trinidad since 33 years now.I love TnT 💘
That’s incredible and congratulations 🎉 i hope you and your wife will come and visit the homeland soon 🔜🇹🇹
