Coconut tree

When entering Mayaro there is a long stretch of coconut trees swaying overhead, approximately a 20 minute drive before you meet the village of Ortoire. Coconut is a crop that have always been in abundance in Mayaro dated back to its historical roots. Historian Louis Borde wrote, "The coconut trees in Bande del Este, Mayaro landed there when a ship from the coast of Africa loaded with coconuts wrecked off the coast of Mayaro."  These trees give the community a picturesque look and provide great shade along the shores of the beaches.
