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.
