Its magnificent natural setting has escaped mass tourism presence. Visiting Trinidad and Tobago, T&T as they say locally, is first and foremost about entering the authenticity of a powerful, rich, and preserved nature.

Geologically and geographically much closer to South America, they also do not have the same economic necessities that make tourism the priority and obligatory activity for most of the Antilles. Coastal concrete development is not - yet - prevalent there.
