Trinidad's Grand Carnival Celebration
starship Says: When it comes to celebrating Mardi Gras, or "Fat Tuesday," New Orleans, Venice or Brazil might rapidly come to mind. However, Trinidad claims their Canival celebration to be the oldest and the greatest of them all. In Trinidad, Carnival is not celebrated for one day or even...
Monastary the Site of Unusual Devotion
starship Says: During our visit to the Mt. St. Benedict Monastary and the Pax Guest House for our afternoon tea, the monastary manager/guide, Mr. Gerard Ramsawak, discribed to us how the monastary is the site of an unusual religious rite of devotion. During the last days of Lent, pilgrims...
Mt. St. Benedict Monastary Cemetery
starship Says: You will also be able to visit a cemetaey on the side of the hill which like the rest of the monastary is quite historical and most certainly unique. Can you guess why these graves are above ground?We made a short visit to the cemetery where our tour guide pointed out...

Apsara: Trinidad Restaurant Experience: Apsara
kategabriele Says: This restaurant is an upscale, reservations recommended, Indian restaurant on the east side of Queen's Park Savannah in Port of Spain, Trinidad. We throughly enjoyed our Christmas eve dinner there. We marveled at the authentic Indian decor, which included altars and incense...

Sweet Lime Restaurant: Don't Miss the Fresh Seafood (seriously)!
karens01 Says: I had a fantastic time at this restaurant. It was open air and located on a very busy entertainment street where there’s endless people watching and live entertainment. The food was nothing short of fantastic. A blend of Caribbean and international sensibilities (depending...
chennaismartguy Says: This place is the one for the high end people...but dont worry...they have 4 levels, the lowest level...I am not sure about the price, then they have the VIP wich will cost you around US $25 to just get in and then if you need drinks...you need to pay the extra. No...
Josilver Says: There are 2 types of taxis in Trinidad. Maxi taxis and personal taxis.From the airport you can get a taxi to pretty much any where you want to go. I think it cost me nearly $70 USD to get to San Fernando a rip off I knowIn Port of Spain at the main bus station there are maxi...
Josilver Says: The cheapest way to get around trinidad is by public bus, I did see quite modern bendy busses on my way to san fernando, but I cought one on a sunday and it was really old (like 1970s) with no air con. Tickets cost $4TT which is like nothing, to get a taxi from the airport...
Marine Terminal & Market: Shopping Could Be Better!
starship Says: At the Marine Terminal you'll find at least 10 shops with eveything from Caribbean clothing, and handmade crafts, to artwork, postcards, music and lots of small souvenirs. Just outside in tents, vendors sell a lot of the same but the most amazing and colorful items were...
chennaismartguy Says: This Mall is very nice and beautifully decorated. Most of the Trini's think that this mall is only for the expatriates...but its not like that. If you dont want to walk in the unsafe main Port of Spain, then i feel this is the safest place to shop, even though its costly. My...

EnochH Says: The company my ex's father worked for HIGHLY recommended NOT going out in the city after dark. This is a general warning and of course one can venture out, but DON'T go alone and STAY in well lit, main-street areas.
johnkebab Says: You get off the plane, get your rental car, turn on the radio to listen to some Soca, the news comes on.Prison officers found with Marijuana on them, Kidnappings, Murder, Corruption charges, and this is daily, no joke, every single day we were there the front page of the...
DSwede Says: In South (the lower 1/3 of Trinidad), there are a few mud volcanoes. The largest and most popular of them is the Devil's Wood Yard.These scaled-down volcanoes are constantly oozing and bubbling. While you may not actually be present for an eruption, evidence will show that...
DSwede Says: Along the road that goes to Maracas Bay from Port of Spain, after the summit, Fond Pois Doux road branches off upwards, steep on the left side (it would be best to park here). From here you have two options:option 1 : from the Fond Pois Doux road, hike up about 15 minutes...
DSwede Says: If you have access to your own vehicle and want to get off on a less traveled hike and have an opportunity to see a cave, Aripo is the ticket.The windy road up to Aripo Village offers a nice break from the flat valley. The jungle canopy slowly envelopes you as you climb.The...
DSwede Says: As I noted previously, Hindu is dominant in Trinidad. When traveling around, regardless of urban or rural, beach or countryside, one cannot escape seeing the colorful Prayer Flags.Each flag is dedicated to a particular deity. Each deity in return is the embodiment of a...
DSwede Says: T&T has quite a mix of ethnic groups, and in Trinidad, the Hindus are quite strong. No doubt this will be first apparent when you notice all of the Indian restaurants and Roti shops.Then, there will be the temples and prayer flags.However, if you have the fortunately...

"To lime" means to party, eat drink and be merry. Triniadadian's are very good at it. I guess it is the Carribbean equivalent of irish "craic". I went to Trinidad in May 2007 to attend a friend's...
