El Tucuche (936 m) is the second highest peak in Trinidad's northern range and is noted for its interesting plateau shape.
Its summit is home to the Trinidad endemic El Tucuche Golden Tree Frog (Phyllodytes auratus), found only on El Tucuche and on Trinidad's highest peak El Cerro del Aripo. The lush evergreen forest, found in the mountain of El Tucuche provides home for other wild tropical fauna and flora. At the foot of the mountain lies the village of Lluengo, home to some 2,000 residents.
