The experience
The Bamboo Cathedral is a place to walk and listen, not a named venue. There is no stage and no programme, and we could not confirm any group that meets here. It is a wide road in the Tucker Valley at Chaguaramas, on Trinidad's north-west peninsula, where tall bamboo grows along both sides and intertwines overhead. Photographers know it for the light. The atlas includes it for the sound: the creak and click of the canes above you in the wind, and the road's quiet under a green ceiling.
Insider tip

Walk it early, before the day warms up and the traffic builds. Stand still in the middle and listen up.
