Trinidad and Tobago, a True Caribbean paradise. Bursting with mix of cultural activities, eco adventure and culinary delights, there is no place in world quite like this tiny twin island, republic of 1.3 million ethnically diverse people. The country presents a dual experience - from the cosmopolitan, bustling towns of Trinidad, to lazy days sunbathing on pristine beaches in Tobago. The southernmost island in the Caribbean, Trinidad, the larger and livelier of the sisters, is an industrial giant boasting exciting nightlife, a robust energy sector and growing manufacturing industry. Trinidad and Tobago are alive with activity throughout the year from Carnival in February, to Jazz in April, The Tobago Heritage Festival in July and Divali in November. Trinidad and Tobago Trinidad is also home to several spectacular attractions, including the Caroni Bird Sanctuary, the La Brea Pitch Lake, Asa Wright Nature Centre and the Gasparee Caves to name a few.
Clean, green and serene Tobago is the perfect escape. Tobago is the home to spectacular reefs, boasting 300 hundred species of coral and colourful fish and along the island’s rugged spine is the oldest protected rainforest in the Western Hemisphere.
