Trinidad
and Tobago, the southernmost islands in the Caribbean chain,
are united under one national banner but couldn't be more
different from each other. Trinidad, a kaleidoscopic
whirl of energy and culture, is the reputed birthplace of Carnival,
the unparalleled extravaganza celebrated annually with its
famous steelband and costume competitions and imitated in
a hundred cities around the world. Bustling with shopping
centers, art galleries, steelband and calypso music, restaurants
and nightlife, Trinidad has become the discerning traveler's
dream vacation.
Tiny Tobago, 21 miles away, is the peace-seeker's idyll with
pristine beaches, over 30 unpolluted reefs, small fishing
villages, and friendly locals. Visitors to Tobago discard
their watches and instead, watch birds or giant manta rays,
depending on whether they enjoy hiking or snorkeling. Wildlife
is rich and abundant in Tobago's rain forest, with bird species
alone numbering over 189, many unique to this tiny paradise.
Because Tobago was once part of the South American continent,
it contains much flora and fauna not found anywhere else in
the Caribbean.
Savvy visitors seek the best of both islands. Pan Caribe
Tours, dedicated to the preservation of the natural environment
and the indigenous culture, can meet all your needs for either
island with their specialties which include:
Adventure, Carnival, Hotel/Air, Nature, and Scuba. |
