Trinidad Family Travel Tips

By Candyce H. Stapen

  • Dance to Calypso, steel pan, and soca rhythms.
  • Enjoy the Caribbean's liveliest Carnival.
  • See the skies turn red at sunset as scores of scarlet ibis flock to the Caroni Bird Sanctuary.
  • Stroll and people-watch in Queen's Park Savannah, an expansive park in Port of Spain.

Family Overview: Trinidad

By Candyce H. Stapen
While "a rich multicultural experience" often rings as a somewhat obvious statement when it comes to world travel, with the island of Trinidad, which sits just seven miles from Venezuela, the phrase is 100 percent accurate. Since the capital, Port of Spain, does a brisk oil and gas business, the city draws workers and merchants from South America, India, China, Syria, Lebanon, and other countries. Then there are the descendants of the British, French, Dutch, and Spanish colonizers, the indigenous Carib Indians, and the African slaves. As a result, the city thrums with a vibrant mix of languages, local patois, and lively festivals. The restaurants dish up Indian rotis and curries, Thai seafood chowder, French escargot, fish with mango salsa, and many other cuisines. Read More
