Why Matelot? Is what many people may be wondering. What is
the draw to this area? Why do residents think this could be a tourist
destination?
I’ve spoken of the beauty of the area. Of the kind,
generous, welcoming people. Of the fruits, nuts, trees, and other natural
features that make Matelot so unique. However, the draw I find when thinking of
people visiting in the future, is that the members of the community want to
share everything – their homes, their culture, their food, their friendship –
and every other aspect of life in Matelot. Each person we worked with met us
with enthusiasm, sharing stories, legends, history, knowledge, and current day
happenings in the town. They know that there is something special going on in
Matelot, Trinidad, and they are determined to share it.
Hi Grace! We stumbled across your blog while researching Matelot. We are a group of Graduate students from Pittsburgh planning a trip to Matelot in a few months, and are in the project development/research phase right now. It would be great to hear about what you did there, if you would be willing. We would love to talk with you.
