Explore the islands that spawned the limbo: Trinidad and Tobago
2010-03-04
Many winter and spring travelers seeking respite from the snow like to go to
exotic locales filled with beauteous beaches and warm weather. When seeking to
beat the cold weather blues, it might be a great idea to take a trip to the
island nation of Trinidad and Tobago.
The eponymous islands that
comprise Trinidad and Tobago have much to offer travelers eager for a warm
weather escape.
Tobago, the smaller of the two islands, features some of
the most beautiful beaches in the region including Bucco Reed at Pigeon Point -
a lush white sand beach backed by an expansive tropical rainforest. The larger
island of Trinidad offers beautiful seaside sights like Maracas Bay, Tyrico and
Las Cuervas.
Travelers spending some time on the larger island might
also consider hiking to the top of Mount Saint Benedict, where a group of
Benedictine monks will prepare special teas and breads for travelers who reach
their mountaintop monastery.
For those with a more relaxing experience
in mind, shooting a round of golf at the Mount Irvine Bay Golf Course is a fun
and relaxing way to spend an afternoon on Tobago.
