BY GEORGE

This centuries-old fort offers beautiful views of the Gulf of Paria. It’s home to original cannons and dungeons, as well as objects dating back to the 1800s, when the fort was build. Though the fort never saw military action, it’s a great place to visit for a feel of the island’s British history.

Traditional Trinidadian cuisine is a fusion of different flavours – from West African and Creole to Latin American, Indian and south Asian.

You can also sub the shark for any other local fish.

Trinidad is home to lots of talented local craftsmen. Some of the best cocoa in the world comes from Trinidad, making artisan chocolates a popular gift.
