Trinidad and Tobago - Wink Travel Guide by Wink Travel Wink Travel Guide Pdf

Trinidad and Tobago is a nation consisting primarily of two Caribbean islands, Trinidad and Tobago, just off the northeastern coast of Venezuela. The country is the most industrialised and one of the most prosperous in the Caribbean. Popular beaches in Trinidad are Maracas, Tyrico, Las Cuevas, Toco, Mayaro, Chagville, Los Iros and Quinam. Most of the beaches on the North coast are beautiful, with powdery sand and clear blue water. Los Iros and Quinam are okay, however Quinam's water may be brown, largely due to sediment from the orinoco river in South America. Popular beaches in Tobago include Pigeon Point, Store Bay, MT Irvine, Bucco, Grange, Englishman's Bay, Canoe Bay. Tobago's beaches are extremely beautiful. Wink Travel Guides introduce you to the best world travel destinations, in a clear and concise way, illustrated by photos.

Trinidad and Tobago Travel Guide by Thomas Austin Pdf

Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean has a charm and friendliness quite unlike any other. Urban Trinidad has many South America influences, a handful of the Caribbean's best beaches and a thriving oil and gas industry. Its capital, Port-of-Spain, is a cosmopolitan city with echoes of its colonial history as well as modern skyscrapers and traffic. Smaller and unspoiled Tobago moves at quite a slower pace and is more typically Caribbean. Tobago has lush forests, crystal blue seas and some of the world's best coral reefs. Introduction to Trinidad & Tobago - Overview - Culture - Location & Orientation - Climate & When To Visit - Sightseeing Highlights - Port-of-Spain - Royal Botanic Gardens - Beaches - Maracas Bay - Manzanilla - Englishman's Bay - Pigeon Point - Store Bay - Buccoo Reef - Argyle Waterfall - Caroni Bird Sanctuary - Fort King George - Recommendations for the Budget Traveler - Places To Stay - Inn at 87 - Hilton Trinidad & Conference Center - Acajou Hotel - The Nest - Places To Eat & Drink - Jaffa at the Oval - Veni Mange - Richard's Shark and Bake - Places To Shop - 101 Art Gallery - Frederick Street and Henry Street - Rhyner's Record Shop - Batiki Point - Store Bay

Tobago Adventure Guide by Kathleen O'Donnell Pdf

Tobago offers an exquisite environment, but it has other major advantages. Until recently, Tobago's tourism industry was undeveloped. There were only a few resort-style hotels on the island, and none were more than three stories high. Numerous small hotels and guest houses dotted the towns, and there was a very low-key feel to the island. Tobago has now found itself on the tourist map, and hotels and holiday villa construction projects are in the works around the island. Tobago is still a very friendly and safe island. There are beautiful beaches, of course, but Tobago offers much more. It is a bird watcher's paradise. It also has the oldest national park in this hemisphere and some of the best scuba diving in the Caribbean for experienced divers. Tobago offers visitors a true Caribbean getaway. It is very relaxed, with sunning and swimming its major attractions. Golf, tennis, and numerous water sports are available, including snorkeling, windsurfing, diving, sailing, and deep-sea fishing. The natural environment is perfect for hiking along nature trails in the rain forest, and people in Tobago are open and friendly. Like us and so many others, you'll find yourself wishing a part of Tobago could be yours forever. There is an unwritten law in Tobago that buildings may not be taller than a palm tree. That unofficial rule is now becoming a part of development policy, and hotels may not be more than three stories high anywhere on the island. Attention is also being given to the delicate ecosystem and fragile nature of the land. While the number of hotel rooms will soon more than double, sites are being carefully selected to avoid damaging the very thing that makes the island special: its beautiful environment and clean waters. When visiting Trinidad and Tobago, remember that Tobago, especially, is still an island of villages and small-town friendliness. We got a lift from a farmer one day and as we rode along he talked about the strong village ties in Tobago. Village elders still try to keep everyone on the straight and narrow so there are fewer social problems in Tobago than in nearby, more urban Trinidad. Tobagoins are accepting of visitors and seem to have unending patience with the interruptions in their daily lives caused by tourists. While open-minded, the islanders are not sophisticated. Trinidad and Tobago both provide extraordinary opportunities to explore nature in all its forms. There are over 400 species of birds, over 600 varieties of butterflies, monkeys, armadillos, caiman, lizards, over a hundred species of snakes, and a huge variety of fish and other marine life. All of these find homes in an astonishing variety of natural environments - saltwater and freshwater mangrove swamps, mountain and coastal rain forests, savannahs, coral reefs, deepwater caves, freshwater rivers, and city parks. There are over 2,300 varieties of flowering plants and it seems there are almost as many micro-climates to support them. Tobago is a bird watcher's heaven. You will hear bird songs all over the island, and will see a variety of birds, large and small. On any window ledge you can create a bird feeder with a little sugar or a banana. We made a birdbath for the tinier birds with a bowl of water, and it was endless joy to see hummingbirds, canaries, and parakeets dine and bathe. This is the most in-depth guide to the island, with extensive information about what to see and do, where to stay and eat, the history and culture. And with color photos throughout.

The Rough Guide to Trinidad & Tobago by Polly Thomas,Dominique De-Light,Robert Coates Pdf

Beautiful white-sand beaches, swaying palms and reef-studded waters are all on offer, but there's more to Trinidad and Tobago than sun and beach life: Tobago is home to one of the densest populations of bird species in the world, and the oldest protected rainforest in the western hemisphere. This is a guide to these lively twin islands.

Trinidad Travel Guide, Caribbean by Aaron Ellis Pdf

Trinidad Travel Guide, Caribbean. Tourism. I see a great future for Trinidad as a tourist destination. The nature of tourism is changing worldwide and people are not coming to the Caribbean for just sun, sea and sand anymore. Visitors want a more active vacation to interact with local people, learn about their culture as well as experiencing a different way of life to their own. That is where our future in tourism lies. We have everything here beautiful and varied flora and fauna (especially birds; the number of visiting ornithologists is growing rapidly), lovely beaches without huge resorts damaging the environment, and a rainforest with hardly any dangerous animals. Culturally, Trinidad is equally diverse: there's a large capital city with plentiful entertainments on offer, great shopping and a wide array of cultural activities all year round. Trinidad's multi-cultural society translates in daily life to food of all descriptions, music easy to listen and dance to, and a friendly, non-prejudiced and helpful people of all ethnic mixes and religions, who actively welcome foreigners.

Adventure Guide to Trinidad and Tobago by Kathleen O'Donnell Pdf

Although definitely a part of the Caribbean, these two islands are unique, refusing to conform with the stock Caribbean image created by glossy brochures and travel agencies. They are both generous and Caribbean-spirited, but quite capable of going their own way. This Adventure Guide takes you across the nation from mountains and hills to grasslands, savannahs and palm-lined beaches, offering the intrepid traveler a ticket to explore. Birdwatchers are drawn by the chance to see the beautiful scarlet ibis. Night-time excursions allow visitors to watch the miraculous egg-laying practices of the leatherback turtle. And caiman smaller versions of the South's alligators are a common sight. And then there's Carnival, which offers wild dances, fantastical costumes and frenzied revellers. Whatever your reason to visit T&T, you have the right guide in hand. Accommodations, restaurants, travel tips, sights, museums, excursions it's all here. A special section is dedicated to the nation's booming yachting industry, with details on marinas, facilities and services. I wish I'd had this book the first time I visited Trinidad and Tobago. The book fully describes the culture of these island people and this knowledge would make a trip to these wonderful islands even more enjoyable. I also believe it's a good choice for readers who can't make the trip but still want to taste the culture. -- Amazon customerI've been to TNT once for two weeks and am returning again in a few months. I bought the book to refresh my memory and, more importantly, get me excited about my return trip. It's a great read, and as the back cover suggests, it really is written for the traveler who wants to experience more than just sunbathing. However, once you've been to Trindad and Tobago, you discover that they are not your generic Caribbean islands. Visiting Trindad and Tobago is more of a cultural vacation than an island getaway. Once you step foot off the plane at Piarco airport, you'll never want to leave, or you'll want to go back once every year. The two islands are full of charisma, and O'Donnell and Pefkaros do a good job of capturing this spirit in the book. You really cannot be intimidated by the cultures of TNT. From the street vendor corn soup, to crab and dumplings, down de islands, Maracas, Pigeon Point, Speyside, fried flying fish, Caribs, lorries, maxis, wining, Trinidad's great bar/club scene, the Northern Range, etc. - this book virtually covers all Trinidad and Tobago vacation opportunities and experiences. -- Amazon customerAn excellent take-long tote, as is the more adventurous Trinidad & Tobago, 2nd Edition by Kathleen O'Donnell and Stassi Pefkaros, which updates information on adventure travel with special focus on the wildlife and culture of the islands. -- Midwest Book Review
