Discover Trinidad & Tobago 2016 — 25th Anniversary Edition
With our 2016 edition (our 27th), we celebrate 25 years of producing Discover Trinidad & Tobago. Published every year since 1991, Discover Trinidad & Tobago is aimed both at international visitors planning a trip to the islands – whether for an eco adventure, business trip, or beach holiday – and at local Trinbagonians looking to know and explore more about their native islands. Our comprehensive coverage of Trinidad and Tobago — from arts and culture to eco adventures, accommodation to sports, planning flights and transportation and more — can help anyone plan anything from a day trip or weekend escape, to a full-on an adventure holiday or leisurely vacation. It might take a lifetime to truly experience all that the islands have to offer, but at least we can show you where to start.

DDI Spotlight<br />
Going “down de islands” (DDI) is a favourite jaunt for those owning or renting<br />
holiday homes, or dropping anchor in one of the coves or bays. There are three<br />
sets of islands off the northwest coast, each with distinct features and histories:<br />
the Five Islands (of which there are actually six); the Diego Islands; and<br />
then Gaspar Grande, Monos, Huevos, and Chacachacare<br />
Nelson Island, one of the Five, was used to quarantine indentured immigrants<br />
Gaspar Grande has the stunning Gasparee Caves, formed by a coral reef<br />
pushed up from the sea. Water has since eroded the limestone, creating<br />
dramatic stalactites, stalagmites, earth pillars and a massive blue-green<br />
pool, lit by sunlight from a hole above<br />
Chacachacare has a salt pond, a lighthouse and, most famously, a leprosarium,<br />
now defunct. The remains of the chapel and dwellings of the<br />
ministering nuns are still there<br />
Carrera, one of the Diego pair, has been a prison island.<br />
