Trinidad and Tobago

The mixture is the thing! Two islands, one state, and the differences could not be greater. The colorful interplay of the various peoples and religions, mainly the descendants of African slaves and migrant workers from India who divide the two island state off the coast of Venezuela, is absolutely captivating. In Trinidad, people abandon themselves to the carnival; nowhere are the revelers more crazy, the costumes more original and the mood more exhilarating. Every February, steel bands work two million people into a state of ecstasy.

Introspection and nature are the keynotes on Tobago. Divers flock to Buccoo Reef, one of the most beautiful coral reefs in the world and home to countless tropical fish - a masterpiece of nature. In the enchanting Englishman’s Bay, time seems to have stood still. Here, you can easily give in to the illusion that palm trees, sandy beaches and waves constitute perfect happiness. Guided tours are organized by the Asa-Wright Nature Center in Trinidad, a former plantation of incomparable beauty right in the heart of the rainforest.
