Land of the Humming Bird

One of the most industrialized nations in the Caribbean, Trinidad draws more business travellers than tourists and entertaining a booming cruise-ship industry. Trinidad’s population is a mosaic — you’ll find descendants of Hindustanis, Javanese, Lebanese, Africans, and Creole mixes. But all come together at Carnival, when Trinidad erupts in a riot of colour and sound, lilting steel pans moving the party along. Tobago, its tiny cousin, is an unspoiled paradise of lush, natural beauty, where amber sunsets sink into gin-clear waters.11
