Trinidad and Tobago sits off the coast of Venezuela and is located to the south of the Caribbean.
Generally regarded to be part of the West Indies, the two main islands - Trinidad and Tobago - are joined by a number of smaller islands and whilst tourism isn't regarded as a primary industry as it is in some other areas of the Caribbean, it is still a destination that is well worth considering for a break in the sun.
The capital city - Port of Spain - is located on Trinidad and this is the island to head for it you plan to visit during the early part of the year when the carnival season is in full flow - with the city being home to bustling markets, a busy port and towering sky scrapers that reflect the fact that Trinidad is one of the more prosperous parts of the Caribbean.
By contrast, life moves along at a much slower pace on neigbouring Tobago where things are much more relaxed and there is the chance to explore more of what most people would say is the 'traditional Caribbean'.
Here, you can enjoy exploring the natural landscapes, sample diving off the coast and taste local delicacies freshly produced by the locals.
