Trinidad
Tobago's island partner
Trinidad is the larger of the two islands that comprise Trinidad and Tobago, a Caribbean nation off the northeastern coast of Venezuela.
It serves as the country's economic and cultural hub, home to the capital Port of Spain and the vast majority of the population.
The island is known for originating calypso music, steelpan drums, and one of the Caribbean's most famous Carnival celebrations.
We spent a week in Trinidad before island-hopping to Tobago.
