Trinidad and Tobago Flag Trinidad & Tobago: Attractions

 Tourist Attractions     

Argyle Falls

Dramatic waterfall, good for bathing.

BUCCOO IS THE GOAT RACING CAPPITAL OF THE WORLD.

Goat racing is a sport which started in the early 20th century. The course is approximately 100meters long. Picture this a grown man running astride a goat. By the way he is the jockey. The jockeys run behind their rides, encouraging them to go faster with shouts and a small stick. This is the highlight of the Easter holidays.

Shallow reef - great even for non swimmers, is a long time favourite of snorkelers. This is Tobago's main underwater sight, and attracts divers from all over the world. This reef is a haven for various species of fish among the coral heads, seafan forests and staghorn coral Belle Garden House Old style plantation house

The Pitch Lake

This could very well be classified as the eighth wonder of the world, and is definitely one the Caribbean's most extraordinary attractions.
