Trinidad/Tobago & E Car

Trinidad has a chequered history. First ‘discovered’ by Columbus and named Holy Trinity, its inhabitants were fairly quickly deported as slaves to work in Spanish colonies elsewhere. Sir Walter Raleigh, who was little more than a pirate in spite of later saving England from the Spanish Armada, sacked the only Spanish settlement in 1595. Britain captured the island in 1797, adding Tobago to its administration in 1889.

Highlights of Trinidad and Tobago's History:

• Carnival Street Festival: Home to the largest Carnival street festival in the world.
• Boiling Asphalt Lake: Features the world’s largest lake of boiling asphalt.
• Tobago's Colonial Past: An amazing history of changing colonial masters 30 times in a century, as Britain, France, and Spain competed for dominance in the Caribbean.

Nowadays, both islands are tourist havens, offering:

• Delightful caves to explore on Trinidad.
• Scuba diving adventures on Tobago.
