Travel with Miles Rowland from World Nomads to Caroni Swamp, on the west coast of Trinidad & Tobago, as he navigates marsh and tidal lagoons with a stand up paddle board. With many hidden areas to explore, Caroni Swamp is teeming with a rich diversity of wildlife including herons, snakes, anteaters and sloths. A birdwatcher’s paradise, the swamp doubles as a bird sanctuary, famous for its population of flamingos and Trinidad & Tobago’s national emblem – the scarlet ibis. Watch as the birds return to roost every evening, setting the green mangrove on fire with their vibrant, red feathers.
