There are Gothic-style Holy Trinity Cathedral, Muslim mosques, Hindu churches and Jewish temples, and Queen's Park in the city. The sandy beaches along the Bay of Malagas in the north of the city are fine and clean, making it a famous bathing beach in Central America.
Tobago Island Tobago is the second largest island in Trinidad and Tobago in South America, located on the Atlantic Ocean at the southern tip of the West Indies. The island is 42 kilometers long and only 11 kilometers wide at its widest point. It is long and narrow, like a cigar. Moreover, the island is rich in tobacco, so the name of the island is also called Tobago, which means "tobacco". Tobago covers an area of about 300 square kilometers, with rolling peaks in the northeast and flat terrain in the southwest.
On Tobago, there is a main mountain range running longitudinally through the island, at an altitude of 576 metres. The island used to be a sugar cane and rum producer but is now a resort. Coconut groves are everywhere on the island, with birds singing and fragrant flowers, soft beaches along the coast, clear water, and tropical fish swimming among the coral reefs, full of tropical style. On the island of Little Tobago at the northeastern end of the island, there are many birds of paradise with beautiful feathers and good singing and dancing. Buko Reef on the southwest coast of the island has its well-known "underwater park". Tobago attracts tourists from all over the world with its unique scenery.
There is a "Bird Paradise" reserve on the adjacent Island of Little Tobago, covering an area of 2732 acres. It is the second largest bird reserve after New Guinea. There are many birds with golden feathers here. On the offshore Bucoo Reef, you can view underwater marine life. Robinson Crusoe's Cave on the island is 2.4 kilometers long and leads directly to Store Bay at the western end of the island.
Seven kilometers northeast of Union Island, at the southernmost tip of the Saint Vincent and Grenadine group, there are four deserted rocky islands and some reefs, which is the Tobago Reef Group. Coral reefs on the bottom of the sea separate it from the Atlantic Ocean. Beautiful bays and soft sandy beaches, coupled with tassel palm groves, attract yachting races to be held here. This sea area has a rich and diverse underwater world, so it is known as the Caribbean Sea's diving destination.
Port of Spain Port of Spain, the capital of Trinidad and Tobago, is a beautiful coastal garden city and a deep-water harbor. It was once a Spanish colony more than 400 years ago, hence its name. Port of Spain is located on the west bank of Trinidad in the West Indies, at 11 degrees north latitude, which happens to be the center of North and South America, so it is called the "hub of the Americas."
It was originally an Indian village and became the capital of Trinidad since 1774. Most urban buildings are Spanish-style two-story buildings, as well as medieval Gothic buildings with pointed arches and clusters of columns, British Victoria and Georgian styles, and French and Italian buildings. Palm trees and coconut groves abound in Port of Spain, Indian temples and Arab mosques. Port of Spain is surrounded by mountains and sea, with beautiful scenery. Due to abundant rainfall, green grass and lush trees everywhere, the entire port city is like a large sea garden and has become a recognized tourist attraction in the Caribbean.
Queen's Park covers an area of 80 hectares of savann-type, extending from the city center to the northern foothills. The Botanical Garden in the north of the city was built in 1818 and houses tropical plants from all over the world. The sandy beaches along the northern coast of Malagas are fine and clean, making them a famous beach in Central America. The Malagas Valley is known as the most beautiful scenic area in the West Indies. It has steep mountains and dangerous rocks. The 100-meter-high Malagas Waterfall flies down in the sky, making it spectacular.
Royal Trinidad Botanical Garden is located in the northern part of Port of Spain, Trinidad. It was established in 1818 and covers an area of 61.8 acres. It is one of the oldest botanical gardens in the world. It has become a great choice for Port of Spain citizens to travel on weekends.
There are more than 700 trees planted in the Botanical Garden, 13% of which are endemic to Trinidad and Tobago, and the rest come from all over the world.
The quiet environment and fragrant flowers and plants make the entire botanical garden full of vitality, filled with full green, attracting many butterflies and bees to dance here. There is a cemetery in the Botanical Garden, the cemetery of the President of Trinidad and Tobago, which was buried here in 1819.
Peech Lake Peech Lake is a natural asphalt lake located in Labea, southwest of Trinidad. The strange thing is that there is not a drop of water in this lake, but some of it is natural asphalt, so people call it "asphalt lake". Lake Peach is considered a tourist attraction, attracting approximately 20000 visitors every year. It has been compared to a "bad parking lot" and "the ugliest tourist resort in the Caribbean." Lake Peach is located on the island of Trinidad in Tobago in the Caribbean Sea, about 96 kilometers from the capital Port of Spain.
This lake, surrounded by plateau jungles, covers an area of 46 hectares and is about 82 meters deep. The surface of Lake Bee looks like a series of dark and gray folds, and the low-lying land between the folds becomes a water collection pond when it rains. Bitching Lake is constantly moving because asphalt continues to seep from the middle to the periphery, occasionally making a plop sound and a puff of bubbles when gas escapes under force. Qingqing Lake was formed 50 million years ago by the remnants of biological decay on the seabed. These residues break down into hydrocarbons that penetrate into the rock. Subsequent crustal movement caused them to lift the earth's surface. After being roasted in the sun, the texture hardens and allows people to walk on it.
The lake is dark and shiny, like a huge exquisite black lacquer basin inlaid on the earth. There, asphalt poured out continuously. Therefore, it is known as the "Mother of Qingqing Lake". Beech Lake is one of the largest asphalt producing areas in the world. The asphalt produced is of good quality and is known as "Wujin". Lake Peach is one of the must-see attractions for guests visiting Trinidad.
Argyll Falls Argyll Falls is located in an ancient cocoa botanical garden in the small mountain village of Tobago. It is 54 meters high and is the highest waterfall in Tobago and one of the best waterfalls in Trinidad and Tobago. When Argyll Falls flows vertically, many cascading small waterfalls will be formed. Although the small waterfalls are not as spectacular as the large waterfalls that flow directly, they are also interesting. These small waterfalls provide convenience for tourists to climb upwards.
Many tourists can't help but pick up the camera in their hands and take photos when they come here. They wanted to document the beauty and grandeur of Argyll Falls. Most tourists will swim in the swimming pool formed under the waterfall, and soaking in the cool water is also a good pastime; some tourists will climb to the top of the waterfall to see the spectacular scene of the waterfall flowing down; some tourists even stand directly Under the waterfall, let the water from the waterfall flow down above your head.
Because it is located in the Cocoa Botanical Garden, many edible plants will be seen near the waterfall, and someone will personally teach you how to do it. Here, in addition to viewing the waterfalls, you can also learn about the use of plants, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
