Product Description

The Rough Guide to Trinidad and Tobago is the definitive guide to the most exciting and unexplored of the Caribbean islands. The full-colour section introduces the islands’ diverse highlights from tropical bird watching in Northern Trinidad and the secluded wave-whipped sand at Tobago’s Pirates bay, to hiking in the forested peaks of the Northern range. This updated fourth edition gives expert background on everything from exotic wildlife to Trinidad’s flamboyant pre-Lenten Carnival celebrations. You’ll find detailed coverage of Trinidad’s best hikes, where to watch turtles laying eggs and sample the island’s delicious cuisine, as well as an appraising rundown of what to do in Tobago, Trinidad’s more tourist-oriented sister isle. The Contexts section provides informed coverage of the islands’ history, politics and current affairs, as well as the low-down on soca, calypso and steelpan, religion, fauna and flora, and books, while the patois glossary unpicks local slang. This guide comes complete with clear maps and practical information on accommodation and transportation; and recommendations of all the best places for eating, drinking, and music.

The Rough Guide to Trinidad & Tobago is like having a local friend plan your trip!

Budget restaurant? Puh-leeze
This is not a very useful tool for travelling. Unlike many guidebooks, they do not put a dollar (or Euro if you prefer) amount on the restaurants, etc., so you are left with a VERY subjective view of cost. We got very tired of going to "inexpensive" and "budget" places and having the dinners cost US $15 to $25 per entree. Even some of the "inexpensive local food" was that much. Tobago in general is difficult in terms of finding budget food (which I define as US $10 or so an entree) and this guide just makes things worse. You are better off using mytabago website or just asking around. There was overall just very little useful information in this "guide". One of us would usually ask 'shall we bring the crappy guide with us?' As often as not, we didn't bother.
