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.

Two islands, two unique experiences at the southernmost end of the<br />
Caribbean archipelago. <strong>Trinidad</strong> may be fast-paced with a cosmopolitan<br />
flair while <strong>Tobago</strong> may be more relaxed and laid back; but<br />
when it comes to their amazing flora and fauna, these two islands<br />
go head to head, making destination <strong>Trinidad</strong> & <strong>Tobago</strong> an ecotourism<br />
paradise.<br />
The destination’s latest sustainable tourism project, the Sustainable Eco-Tourism Trail,<br />
will enable visitors and nature enthusiasts to experience more of our islands’ fascinating<br />
natural beauty. Working with selected communities over the next five years, 1,000km of<br />
untouched landscape will be opened up, starting in the lush, mountainous rainforests of<br />
Blanchisseuse and Chaguaramas along the north coast of <strong>Trinidad</strong>.<br />
Visitors will have the opportunity to blaze new hiking and biking trails that showcase the<br />
unspoilt natural beauty and fascinating biodiversity of our destination. Eager walkers and<br />
biking enthusiasts will be able to experience exciting trails through the rainforest and along<br />
the stunning coastline, with lunch stops at different communities along the way, allowing<br />
them to enjoy the warmth and hospitality for which the people of <strong>Trinidad</strong> & <strong>Tobago</strong> are<br />
renowned.<br />
The Sustainable Eco-Tourism Trail will complement the dozens of other adventures<br />
available on the islands. Whether you’re into diving, snorkelling or stand-up paddling, hiking,<br />
rappelling or birding, <strong>Trinidad</strong> & <strong>Tobago</strong> is the place to enjoy the beauty of nature at its best.<br />
Allow us to welcome you to <strong>Trinidad</strong> & <strong>Tobago</strong> <strong>—</strong> “the true Caribbean”.<br />
