Introduction
The Brasso Seco Paria Tourism Action Committee is a community-based organization formed in 1997 by villagers in Brasso Seco, a remote rainforest village near Trinidad's highest peak, to run ecotourism and agrotourism ventures. It organizes guided birding hikes, hiking trails, cocoa and cultural experiences, catering, and accommodation through local host homes and a visitor facility, under the tagline "Experience the Valley of Life."
