El Tucuche (936 m) is the second highest peak in Trinidad's Northern Range and is noted for its interesting pyramidal shape.

[citation needed] The vegetation is usually gnarled and short, due to the high elevation, exposure to clouds and prevailing winds.

Wildlife on El Tucuche includes animals such as the El Tucuche Golden Tree Frog (Phytotriades auratus), the Red Brocket Deer, the Fer-de-lance (Bothrops atrox), the Bearded Bellbird, the Orange-winged Amazon Parrot, the White-bearded Manakin, the Trinidad Stream Frog (Mannophryne trinitatis) and the Emperor Morpho Butterfly (Morpho peleides) to name just a few.

The nation's highest waterfall, Maracas falls, lies at the foothills of El Tucuche, and is 91.5 meters (300 feet) high.

When clouds aren't present, the nation's capital, Port Of Spain, the Caroni Swamp and Main Ridge can be viewed from the summit.
