WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT T-N-T

Welcome to the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago! 

My beautiful island is geographically located in the southern part of the Caribbean Sea lying to the northeastern coast of Venezuela and south of Grenada.  It possesses a tropical climate and the general temperature is 32°C. We offer a two-island experience, but in one country, all of your senses will be stimulated. There is the richness of the foods, the natural beauty, both above and below the water, and so many types of birds, flowers, and butterflies creating an explosion of color.

The capital of Trinidad is Port of Spain. The twin towers and new government buildings are landmarks to let you know you're heading in the right direction.

Our lovely Prime Minister Kamla Persard-Bissessar is the first female to become Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago

My country is very diverse in its culture, food, and entertainment. There is a very laid back, homey feeling in the atmosphere. Once you get a whiff of it, guaranteed you'll keep coming back for more.
