  • La Brea Pitch Lake is found in southwest Trinidad in the village of La Brea. The lake measures approximately one hundred (100) acres (41 hectares), and is estimated to be two hundred and fifty (250) feet (76 metres) deep in the centre. It holds about ten million (10,000,000) tons of pitch. It is situated about twelve hundred (1200) yards from the sea, in a depression immediately south of a 140 feet high hill, from the summit of which the ground slopes gently northwards to the sea.

    Thank you African Tigress, for visiting my village of LA Brea. I left over 20 years ago but my memories are very fond....As a young person growing up in that area I spent countless times bathing, exploring and just having fun in the lake.
    I went to the Brighton Anglican school in the 70's (very close to the pitch lake) with Amelia and some of the other tour guides. I can also remember the tool shed being in it's original position/location.
    Keep up the great work you are doing AT and continue providing us with all the wonderful content. 🇹🇹 🇰🇪

    AT, I am glad you are doing this video. I am sure a lot of your subscribers are unaware of our Pitch Lake. This is a good geography lesson for all. When I was in elementary school, we were taken there for a school excursion. I remember some of the homes nearby were propped with a few logs at one side, because the pitch was eroding the soil under the houses.

    This is a field trip spot mosts Trinis probably went to in primary school. Thats how i visited many years ago. The guide probably did mention that the lake also pushs up artifacts from the first ppl, animals etc from timr to time. They're kept in the little museum you showed at the end.

    I honestly thought when Ms. Amena was saying "dogs get trapped, cows get trapped, birds get trapped" she was about to say " and before I became a tour guide, I get trapped", ahahahahahaha.
    But on a serious note, this was the most COMPREHENSIVE tour of Lake Asphalt I have EVER SEEN. Ms Amena knows her stuff. Strict like our primary school teachers though, lmao, when she says "don't move", you feeling as if she going to pick a hibiscus whip, Ahahahahahahahahaha. But she is a darling and hats off to her and her astronomical wealth of knowledge.
    And to you African Tigress, thank you for your fortitude and determination to visit and showcase the abundance of our delightful and loving citizens, phenomenal sights, spectacular natural wonders and the remarkably positive energies of our twin island republic of Trinidad and Tobago. I absolutely loved how you included the images and videos of the critical things Ms. Amena was highlighting, for ease of reference for international viewers. You are AMAZING and ALWAYS welcomed home to us. God bless our Nation and God bless you African Tigress.

    From my neck of the woods. Please note there are veins of the pitch throughout La Brea. If a house is built on a vein there will be shifting due to the growing of pitch. If your property is not on a vein you'll have no problem. The veins create problems with the road even after repaving. It may take a while but eventually the pitch grows out and creates bad road for driving.

You need to invest in a drone and some editing classes to really push the envelope. This lady is very knowledgeable about the area so BIG UP to Miss Amena. How can I get in contact with her? Oh ok, I saw at the end you asked her. Nice job! In the future, you may want to use subtitles because others may not understand her accent. Can you put her contact info in your signature? Great job though. I love watching you grow.
