Trinidad and Tobago – a twin-island nation at the southern reach of the Lesser Antilles.

Trinidad is a small Caribbean island located less than 10 miles off the coast of Venezuela. The island’s habitats represent a combination of the flora and fauna of the Caribbean and the wilder aspects of the South American mainland. Species lists for Trinidad are impressive. Checklists include 97 native mammals, over 430 bird species, 55 reptiles, 25 amphibians, 617 butterflies, and more than 2,200 species of flowering plants. No other area in the West Indies, and few areas of comparable size in tropical America, can match this spectacular species diversity.

Tobago, Trinidad’s little sister island, packs a surprising diversity between its coastal fringes. Visitors are encouraged to explore the island’s deserted beaches, pristine coral reefs teeming with life, and lush rainforests.
