Paraclete is a scenic village and town in the parish of St. Andrew, Grenada, a Caribbean island, located in the mountainous interior of the southwestern part of the main island. Its name is derived from the Greek word for "patron saint", meaning divine protection. It is characterized by dense tropical vegetation, rolling hills and a traditional farming community surrounded by nutmeg, cocoa and banana plantations, reflecting Grenada's agricultural roots as the "Land of Spices".
At an altitude of approximately 200-300 meters above sea level, Paraclete enjoys a warm and humid climate with an average annual temperature of approximately 27°C. The villagers rely on agriculture for their livelihoods and retain a simple, rural Caribbean lifestyle. The local architecture is dominated by brightly colored wooden houses, and there are several hiking trails around the area to explore the rainforest and waterfalls, such as the route to Concord Falls, which is a hidden highlight of ecotourism.
As one of Grenada's traditional cultural reserves, Paraclete hosts small music and dance events during Carnival, showcasing a unique blend of African and French cultures. The economy is based on spice processing and agricultural trade, but in recent years, community tourism has been developed, where visitors can experience spice-making workshops, taste local cocoa tea, and experience the charm of the untouched Caribbean countryside.
