From 19th century fortifications to intricate limestone cave systems, Trinidad has landmark attractions for everyone.
Fort George
This 19th century fortification was originally built to protect Port of Spain from any perceived military threats. An intricate wooden signal station sharply contrasts with the formidable characteristics of the fort, which continues to offer visitors spectacular panoramas of the Trinidadian capital as well as views of its original cannons, dungeons, and artefacts.
Gasparee Caves
An intricate limestone cave system, the Gasparee Caves are located on Gaspar Grande, an island off the northwest coast of Trinidad. The caves are lined with magnificent stalagmites and stalactites, whilst some limestone formations have taken the shape of dinosaurs and other creatures. Its deep blue grotto waters glisten invitingly courtesy of a hole at the top of the cave, through which the Trinidadian sunshine streams.
Hanuman Statue
An impressive 85-foot statue of the half-human, half-monkey Hindu god, Hanuman, towers over the village of Carapichaima. Consecrated in 2003 and built according to the Dravidian style of architecture, it is the largest Hanuman murti outside of India and a reminder to all devotees that they should grow in height spiritually.
