About Trinidad and Tobago
Trinidad and Tobago pairs two contrasting Caribbean islands just off the Venezuelan coast: bustling Trinidad, home to the capital Port of Spain, and quieter, beach-fringed Tobago. Oil and natural gas wealth sets the country apart from its island neighbours, while its Carnival — a riot of steelpan, calypso and costume — ranks among the most famous festivals in the Americas.
- The steelpan, developed in Trinidad, is widely regarded as the only major acoustic instrument invented in the 20th century.
- Trinidad's Pitch Lake at La Brea is the world's largest natural deposit of asphalt, mined for over a century to pave roads around the globe.
- Trinidad lies only about 11 km off the coast of Venezuela, and the country is the southernmost island nation of the Caribbean.
