About Trinidad & Tobago
The carnival land of Trinidad, the larger part of this twin-island nation, is one of the most racially varied countries in the world. About 40 per cent of the population is of black African descent. A further 40 per cent can trace their ancestry back to India. The remainder is European, Chinese or a combination of all four groups and the languages you’ll hear will be English, French, Spanish and Hindi. It's quite a mixture.
The island and its inhabitants move at a fast pace, especially in the capital, Port of Spain, whose 500,000 inhabitants live in the tightly-packed corridors of downtown. This is where the action is: the streets are a cacophony of bars, markets and taxis booming loud music.
The island lies close to the South American mainland to which it was once joined and with which it shares much of its wildlife. In the swamps of the south there are cayman alligators and the elegant scarlet ibis. Plant life in the rainforest, which covers the uncultivated part of the island, is lush. Trinidad’s most amazing natural feature, however, is the Pitch Lake – 100 acres (400,000 sq m) of tar soft enough to swallow you should you spend too long standing on it.
But there is rarely time to stand still in Trinidad. The home of limbo, calypso and the steel band, it has a hectic nightlife, and if you have to eat, snacking is the domestic style; there is no time to sit down, especially when it’s carnival time.
Twenty-two miles, or 35 km, away, Trinidad’s small sister island of Tobago offers a striking contrast in landscapes and people. Tobago provides a much more relaxed introduction to the Caribbean. The pace of life here is slower and away from the established, but not crowded, resorts at the western end of the island there are plenty of secluded coves and bays in which to idle away the hours in the water and the sun in the classic Caribbean fashion.
Watersports feature strongly in its attractions: divers, windsurfers and fishing enthusiasts will love its beautiful beaches, clear waters and smart hotels. Eco-tourists will find rivers, waterfalls and a rich birdlife.
Its main towns, Scarborough and Plymouth, are really large villages where there’s always a friendly smile for visitors.
These two islands are as alike as chalk and cheese – so try both.
Nearby Attractions:
A secluded beach just a ten minute stroll away, enhances the sense of privacy.
The beach at the nearby Arnos Vale Hotel is worth visiting. And when you want to do more than pamper yourself, discover the joys of diving, fishing, snorkeling, swimming and nature walking.
It's all part of the charm of Being!

Caribbean Travel Tip
Preparation for Your Trip
Start Early. If a passport is required for you to enter the country where you are planning to travel, apply for it as soon as possible.
Learn about the countries you plan to visit. Before departing, read up on the culture and people for the places you will travel.
As you travel, keep abreast of local news coverage. If you are in an area experiencing civil unrest or a natural disaster, if you will be staying more than two weeks in an area, or if you are going to a place where communications are poor, you are encouraged to register with the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. Registration takes only a few moments, and it may be invaluable in case of an emergency. Remember to leave a detailed itinerary and the numbers of your passport or other citizenship documents with a friend or relative in the United States.
For up-to-date travel information on any country in the world that you plan to visit, obtain the Department of State's Consular Information Sheet. This covers topics such as entry regulations, the crime and security situation, drug penalties, and location of the nearest U.S. embassy, consulate or consular agency.
The Department also issues Travel Warnings and Public Announcements. A Travel Warning advises travelers not to go to a country because of dangerous conditions and/or U.S. government's ability to assist a U.S. citizen in distress there is severely limited. A Public Announcement is issued as a means to disseminate information quickly about relatively short-term and/or trans-national conditions which would pose significant risks to the security of American travelers.
