Meet the James family, Las lapas Trinidad and Tobago, A view you may have never seen Northern Range

A note to visitors: STOP littering when you visit any Carribean island. Thank you!

Really impressed with their community spirit. The Ministry of Agriculture or Tourism should honor the family by rewarding them with an income package for their social duties.

A family who knows the true riches of life 🙌🏾🙏🏾🎁👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Las Lapas meaning the macaws or clinging vines. I have asked people in the area about the meaning but could not find anyone who knows. You can get to this spot via the Arima Blanchisseuse Road or from Lopinot if you have a 4X4, or a 1hr hike along the road. One of the best views in Trinidad and certainly one of the cleanest maintained privately by Mr. James & family. Strange thing, some Trinis will come here and comment on the cleanliness but still throw rubbish down the hill and even in front of the man house. Mr. James tirelessly cleans nonetheless. Very generous and grateful guy. I will bet if you ever put money into his donation box you will end up with something from his garden to carry home. I once got 3 ripe cocoa and a bunch of bananas after dropping something in the box. This guy and his family are really friendly to all visitors.

You are blessed. Your innocence is your riches. Don't get blighted by the material things of this world. God is providing, he knows what is your needs. You are in paradise. I hope that your lifestyle doesn't change after this because many people are going to want to invade now. You are one in ten million. God be with you and your family. Stay blessed. Hope I get a chance to visit this place sometime soon. And for the host, don't let anyone dampened your,spirits. You did a good job. Continue your good work. Walk with God. Stay blessed.

Those children are experiencing a richness that most city kids will never understand in their lives. Amazing.

Wifey only blushing. Well clean ambitious couple.

We often hear about carnival or curry,or music,but we never hear or see the natural beauty of Trinidad! I hope to see more videos, I always felt that the island was secretly beautiful!

Well said anything good for your immune system is good for your whole body. That man is a doctor without a degree.

I will closed my eyes and eat in their yard they are very clean people please I want Randon Mitchell to see this.video so the government can help them nice family this is what we need in Trinidad

I love this so so much. Being a Trini myself, it was beautiful to see my country from a different angle.

What a sweet, kind , humble family. God Bless them, they are doing his work keeping Las Lapas pristine.

I am proud to say I know this family and can call them friends. When you visit them, you leave feeling blessed and enlightened in spirit and you never leave empty-handed - you are sure to be given some kid of fruit, vegetable or plant. They are a wonderful genuine loving couple. The kids are a delight. When you visiting Carry something for them...no matter how small- at least for the kids.

Ministry of tourism should pay them for up keeping the place. Lovely family. God bless them.

I pray God shower his blessings on Mr. James and his family, sending much love from Mississauga Ontario Canada ❤❤❤🇨🇦

We should not wait on the Government to assist them let us all contribute what ever we can to them when we visit them and we should also make and share videos of this place so the world will see this priceless treasure

I LOVE THE MUSIC IN THIS VIDEO. Calming.

This is what I called living.. These people more happy than those living in mansion.. But to live in Devine Nature is the most beautiful for one soul.. However, keep out OUTSIDER'S because when people start to Enter the place get destroyed.. Land's start cutting down N Tree's! Keep it Organic.. Look how happy those kids are even the animals too with tons of Joy.. Thanks for sharing this video much appreciated

Glad this video popped up in my feed. What a kind and gracious family. A family that prays, play and work together, stay together. Blessings from Jamaica 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

Won’t lie ... this made me emotional. Just a beautiful video
