Our illustrated travel guide will take you to Trinidad and Tobago, a nation consisting primarily of two Caribbean islands just off the northeastern coast of Venezuela. The country is the most industrialised and one of the most prosperous in the Caribbean.

The islands are replete with natural unspoiled beauty not found in most other Caribbean countries. Trinidad and Tobago has a cosmopolitan society inhabited by many different peoples and cultures who live together in relative peace and harmony.

The two islands have distinct personalities. Trinidad is the larger of the two, and is the location of most of the country's cities and activity. It is also the country's industrial centre, noted for petroleum and natural gas production, which make Trinidad and Tobago one of the most prosperous countries in the Caribbean. Tobago is known for tourism, which is its main industry and is a popular tourist destination. Both islands have a share of natural beauty.

The annual festival of Carnival is one of the most famous attractions in Trinidad and Tobago. Every year just before Ash Wednesday and the season of Lent, thousands of costumed revelers parade on the streets in an annual street party dubbed "The Greatest Show On Earth.”
