Our History

Welcome to Trinbago (officially, Trinidad and Tobago), the twin-island nation found at the southernmost end of the Caribbean. We are a colourful callaloo of communities and cultures, proud of our heritage and always loving a good time. Our yearly Carnival is arguably one of the most diverse and photogenic street festivals of the World and it’s a great place to bring along your Nikon kit. Pretty people in feathers and beads, fire-breathing devils, steelbands, and cracking whips all glitter the landscape. And there—towering, commanding respect among the cacophony—are the moko jumbies. To give some context, please allow me a quick, condensed history:
