Our afternoon/evening adventure starts where we safely park our vehicles at Eric Williams Medical Science Complex at Mount Hope and we board our awaiting maxi. Now one thing is certain, and that is from Mount Hope to Chancellor, you will be treated to a general tour guide of the destined route we will be taking until we reach at the summit of Chancellor Hill.
Seeing that we will have time on our hands, we will definitely stroll up a steady hill that will bring us to the pines of Chancellor where the view and atmosphere is nothing short but astounding. We will proceed further uphill until the clear views of Port of Spain and the whole of Western Trinidad are in the palm of our hands and it is here we stay to witness a fabulous sunset once the day goes fine. Walk with your cameras for photography is great for this occasion.
