Details About Trinidad

Destinations » Caribbean » Caribbean - Southern » Trinidad


As one of the larger islands in the Caribbean, Trinidad embodies the best of all of them. There is a smooth compliment of cultures that contributes to the unique nature of this island. Trinidad was discovered by Columbus during his third voyage. The Caribe Indians from South America were its first inhabitants, soon joined by the Spanish, the English and the African slaves brought to work the cane, cacao and cotton fields. Home to not only calypso, Trinidad is credited with inventing the "pan" or steel drum.

Attractions

The Asa Wright Nature Center is a former cocoa and coffee plantation that has been turned into an 80ha (198ac) nature reserve. Located amid the rainforest in the Northern Range, the centre has attracted naturalists from around the world since it was founded in 1967. There's a lodge catering to birding tour groups, a research station for biologists and a series of hiking trails on the property. The sanctuary encompasses Dunston Cave, which is home to a breeding colony of the elusive nocturnal guacharo, or oilbird.
