Adventure Guide to Trinidad & Tobago (1st ed)
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Most Trinidad and Tobago guides (and there aren't many) assume you're there to sunbathe. A list of hotels, directions to the best beach, a brief mention of the bird sanctuaries in case you're into them, and that's that. O'Donnell and Pefkaros explore the adventurous side of the islands as well, with hiking and kayaking, mud volcanoes, water falls and swamps. They're beautiful, friendly islands and worth taking the time to get to know them well.
Book Description
Although definitely a part of the Caribbean, these two islands are unique, refusing to conform with the stock Caribbean image created by glossy brochures and travel agencies. They are both generous and Caribbean-spirited, but quite capable of going their own way.
This Adventure Guide takes you across the nation from mountains and hills to grasslands, savannahs and palm-lined beaches, offering the intrepid traveler a ticket to explore. Birdwatchers are drawn by the chance to see the beautiful scarlet ibis. Night-time excursions allow visitors to watch the miraculous egg-laying practices of the leatherback turtle. And caiman - smaller versions of the South's alligators - are a common sight. And then there's Carnival, which offers wild dances, fantastical costumes and frenzied revellers.
Whatever your reason to visit T&T, you have the right guide in hand. Accommodations, restaurants, travel tips, sights, museums, excursions - it's all here. A special section is dedicated to the nation's booming yachting industry, with details on marinas, facilities and services. Maps, photos, index.
