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.

Galera Point & Keshorn<br />
Walcott Toco Lighthouse<br />
There’s a rocky outcrop at Galera<br />
Point, just beyond the Keshorn Walcott Toco<br />
Lighthouse (1877) at the northeastern tip of<br />
the island. Here two great bodies of water<br />
meet: the Atlantic Ocean to the east, the<br />
Caribbean Sea to the west, with a distinct<br />
demarcation in colour. It is also here that<br />
Amerindians, fleeing the Spanish occupiers<br />
after the Arena uprising in 1699, are said to<br />
have thrown themselves into the water rather<br />
than suffer further oppression. In February,<br />
Orisha devotees celebrate the Olukun<br />
Festival here. There is a small picnic area.<br />

Perched 245m/800ft above the central<br />
plain, off St John’s Road in Tunapuna,<br />
Mount St Benedict is the oldest Benedictine<br />
monastery in the Caribbean. The 600-<br />
acre complex includes a nature park with<br />
walkways and trails, perfect for hiking,<br />
bird-watching and enjoying the magnificent<br />
views. The Pax Guesthouse offers accommodation,<br />
a tea-house and terraces for<br />
bird-watching.<br />
