Tobago

Trinidad and Tobago - two islands, one country. Two vacations in one - could you ask for a better deal? Lying just off the South American coast, this is the most culturally diverse of its peers, with a landscape and natural history as rich and varied as the rainbow faces of its many distinct heritages. A melting pot of cultures with an irrepressible zest for life, this is a land of music and festivals, where Carnival, calypso, steel pan music, and the limbo dance were born. The islands were first settled many centuries ago by Amerindians, and were then stumbled upon by Columbus, settled by the Spanish and French, then conquered by the British. Both islands' populations are mostly descended from the Africans who were imported to work the plantations, and the Hindu Indians who replaced them after emancipation. Portuguese, Chinese, Lebanese, and Syrian traders followed.
