Pitch Lake

Tierra de Brea", the 'Land of Tar' was the original name of the area surrounding the Pitch Lake in southern Trinidad. Pitch Lake is the largest natural deposit of asphalt in the world. While not all areas are completely safe, it is possible to walk across the lake, which some disappointed visitors described as looking much like a parking lot. But when you visit you will find that Pitch Lake is not like any parking lot you've ever walked across.
