The country covers an area of 5,128 square kilometers and consists of two main islands, Trinidad and Tobago, and numerous smaller islands.

Culture

Trinidad and Tobago is well known for its annual Carnival. Celebrations begin just after Christmas and culminate in two days of revelry on the Monday and Tuesday before the beginning of the Lenten season. Trinidad is the faster paced island while Tobago is more laid back and known for its fantastic beaches.

Trinidad is the home of calypso music and the steelpan, the only acoustic musical instrument invented during the 20th century. Trinidad is also the birthplace of Soca, Chutney and Parang. The diverse cultural and religious background also allows for many festivities and ceremonies throughout the year.
