It was difficult to enjoy the climb of the Manaca Iznaga tower at Trinidad not because I am afraid of heights but because the tower was used as a watch tower for the slave plantation here in Trinidad. The colonial city is a world heritage site but its history as a slave city is being erased by the tourist economy. Trinidad has reconstructed the image of the city to cater to tourists.
