Trinidad and Tobago - Trinidad y Tobago

Introduction Trinidad and Tobago, officially the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, is a country located in the south of the Caribbean Sea, off the north coast of South America. It consists of two main islands, the Trinidad island -the largest and most populous- and the Tobago island, plus several smaller islands. To the south and east of Trinidad and Tobago lies Venezuela, while to the north is grenade.

Understand

History

The islands were first inhabited by Arawak and Carib peoples, who settled here from the South American mainland and whose descendants constitute a small minority of the population. Trinidad was seen by Christopher Columbus, who claimed it for Spain. Under Spanish rule, many French colonists established cocoa plantations in Trinidad and imported slaves to work them. The British took over the island in 1798 and abolished slavery. To make up for the labor shortage, the government encouraged heavy immigration from countries such as Portugal, France, Germany, China, and most importantly India. Trinidad joined with Tobago in the 1880s. In the early 1900s, the country welcomed thousands of mostly black immigrants from other Caribbean countries, as well as Venezuela and Colombia. After World War II, TT merged with several other British Caribbean countries into the Federation of the West Indies. However, the different island groups could not get along and the federation soon collapsed. TT finally achieved its full independence on August 31, 1962. During the 1960s and 1970s, the country prospered thanks to large deposits of oil and natural gas, becoming the richest nation in the Caribbean. However, in the late 1980s, oil prices fell significantly, causing a major economic crisis. Thousands of Trinidadians left the country at this time, seeking better opportunities elsewhere. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, the country recovered dramatically and the nation's standard of living continues to improve today.

People

The country has a cosmopolitan society inhabited by many different peoples and cultures who live together in relative peace and harmony. Ethnic Indians form a plurality of the population, while blacks of African descent form the second largest group.

Economy

The two islands have different personalities. Trinidad is the larger of the two and is the location of most of the country's cities and activities. It is also the industrial center of the country, known for the production of oil and natural gas, which makes T&T one of the most prosperous countries in the Caribbean. Tobago is known for tourism, which is its main industry and is a popular tourist destination. Both islands have a part of natural beauty.

Weather

Trinidad and Tobago, well within the tropics, enjoys a generally pleasant maritime tropical climate influenced by the northeast trade winds. In Trinidad, the average annual temperature is 26 ° C (78.8 ° F) and the average maximum temperature is 34 ° C (93.2 ° F). Humidity is high, particularly during the rainy season, when the average is 85 to 87%. The island receives an average of 2,110 millimeters (83.1 inches) of rain per year, generally concentrated in the months of June to December, when brief and intense rains occur. Precipitation is highest in the Cordillera del Norte, which can receive up to 3,810 mm (150 in). During the dry season, drought plagues the central interior of the island. Tobago's climate is similar to Trinidad's but a bit colder. Its rainy season runs from June to December; annual rainfall is 2,500 mm (98.4 in). The islands are outside the hurricane belt; Despite this, Hurricane Flora damaged Tobago in 1963, and Tropical Storm Alma struck Trinidad in 1974, causing damage before reaching full force.

Ground

Paria Arch on the north coast of Trinidad.

Trinidad is crossed by three different mountain ranges. The Cordillera del Norte, an outlier of the Andes Mountains of Venezuela, consists of steep hills that run parallel to the coast. This range rises by two peaks. The highest, El Cerro del Aripo, is 940 m (3,084 ft) high; The other, El Tucuche, reaches 936m. The central range runs diagonally across the island and is a low range. The Caroni plain extends to the south, separating the Cordillera del Norte and the Cordillera Central. The Cordillera Sur consists of a dashed line of hills with a maximum elevation of 305 m (1,001 ft). There are numerous rivers and streams on the island of Trinidad; the most significant are the Ortoire River and the Caroni River.

Tobago is mountainous and dominated by the Main Range, which is 29 kilometers long with elevations of up to 640 m. There are deep and fertile valleys that run north and south of the Cordillera Principal. The southwestern tip of the island has a coral shelf. Although Tobago is of volcanic origin, there are no active volcanoes. There are numerous rivers and streams, but flooding and erosion are less severe than in Trinidad.

Boat

Trinidad is a popular place for yacht owners. Most anchor in the Chaguaramas area in the extreme northwest of the island. The Trinidad and Tobago Sailing Association provides services to boaters, known locally as "Yachties". Cruise ships can also dock at the cruise complex in Port of Spain.

Travel

In taxi

Taxis are just normal passenger cars with no special markings. However, their plates begin with the letter "H". They are found at taxi ranks that may be on a corner or on the side of the road. Taxi ranks in cities and districts are usually marked, but outside the city they are not. However, one can take a taxi from the side of the road and ask where they are going and the fare before hiring the taxi. You pay for an individual seat and the taxis are shared, but you can rent a whole car if you want, and if there are not many passengers waiting. Airport taxis are an exception to this, as you almost always have to rent the entire car.

There are larger taxis, called "Maxitaxis" or simply "Maxis" that go a specific route. These are similar to minibuses and are painted white or beige and have a colored band around them. Each maxi generally has about 11 or 25 passengers. The color of the band indicates the area in which they travel. They have their own taxi ranks and terminals. In Port of Spain, maxi depart and arrive at the City Gate terminal, and in San Fernando they depart and arrive at the bus terminal at King's Wharf. These Maxi Taxis travel to the east, south and central areas of the island. To travel west there are some designated areas, such as the Diego Martin / Petit Valley / Carenage / Chagaramas maxi post, located a few kilometers from the City Gate. You can rent a maxi taxi for a whole day on a chartered trip. These can be negotiated directly with the maxi taxi drivers in advance. Prices vary.

Gypsy taxis are also available. Locally they are called "PH" because they are private cars that are used illegally for rent. Please exercise caution as "PH" drivers have been linked to crimes including murder, kidnapping and robbery and do not have insurance for contracted passengers.

Some advices

• All taxi fares must be paid in cash in TT dollars. Some drivers accept US dollars, Canadian dollars, or euros, but they may not give you a favorable exchange rate. It's okay to ask for your rate in advance. In Maxi taxis, pay the driver or the driver if there is no driver. Tipping is not expected except for airport taxis. However, if you're feeling generous, you can tip if you'd like. Taxi drivers generally do not provide receipts.
• If you go off the usual designated route (usually the main road), tell the taxi driver before boarding the taxi. Some may not want to get off the main road due to crime or bad roads. If you do not notify them in advance, you may be dropped off at a point close to your destination and you will have to walk. Maxi taxis will generally not depart from the designated route, however some of them will ask passengers if an alternate route can be taken if there is excessive traffic. If you are in doubt as to whether the maxi will miss its destination, ask the driver.
• Avoid looking for a taxi or a maxi during rush hours (AM and PM, but PM is worse). Taxi ranks tend to be crowded, and others may resort to stopping the taxi before the taxi rank. The net result is that the taxi is full before reaching the stop and the wait can be very long.
• Some maxi and taxi drivers will want to put more than the legal number of passengers in the vehicle. This is a dangerous and illegal practice, as there is no insurance coverage for any of the passengers if the maxi taxi is overloaded and you have an accident. Politely decline or at least know what you are risking.
• If your taxi or maxi is involved in an accident, please inform the police as soon as possible to guarantee your legal rights. Taxi drivers must carry insurance for all passengers. Police reports can be made in person to the police station that has jurisdiction. Ask a local. They will know. If you or someone requires immediate medical attention, dial 999 or 990.
• Some taxi ranks will fill cabs from the back onwards. This is more common in cities and districts.
• To stop a maxi taxi while in it (ie at your destination) press the stop button. Sometimes they won't be tagged, but maxi taxis are required by law to have them.
• Smoking in public buildings is illegal.

By bus

The buses are run by the Public Transportation Services Corporation (PTSC), owned by the Government of Trinidad and Tobago. Buses and bus tickets are available at City Gate in Port of Spain, King's Wharf in San Fernando, and several other terminals and bus stops. A ticket is required to board the bus. Bus drivers do not accept cash or credit cards By ferry

There is a domestic ferry that operates on the island of Trinidad between the two main cities of Port of Spain in the north and San Fernando in the south. The ferry ride takes approximately 45 minutes between destinations and a one-way trip costs TT $ 15 (approximately US $ 2.50).

By car

Car rental is widely available and driving is on the left side (British style). There are several companies that rent cars, including international chains like Budget and Hertz. There are also local companies like Auto Rentals, Kalloo's and many others. It is better to reserve a car in advance. However, one can rent a car at the airport upon arrival. Rental car license plates are usually designated with an "R" (which stands for "Rental") as the first letter. Some private individuals will rent cars with license plates designated with the letter "P" (which stands for "Private"), but this is an illegal practice and it is best to rent a car with an "R" license plate.

However, it is becoming common practice for criminals to target rental car drivers, as many locals seem to believe that all foreigners are rich. Therefore, more and more car rental companies are equipping their cars with "P" in hopes that this will hide the fact that the car is actually a rental.

Road and traffic conditions

Beware of drivers who do not follow the laws of the road. They cannot stop at red lights and make turns without warning. If you are only used to driving on the right side, consider not driving at all. Drive to stay alive. If you anticipate the possibility of unpleasantness, especially one that may turn into a road rage incident, avoid it.

Speed ​​limits are in effect (80 km / h on roads), but are rarely enforced. Many road signs are old and inconspicuous and distances are marked in kilometers. It's a fun experience, if you can drive well, enjoy the roads, especially late at night or early in the morning. Avoid speeding on major highways at rush hour or around Queen's Park Savannah at any time. Other than that, the chances of getting arrested are slim to none.

Although you will see many drivers doing this, it is illegal to turn left on red (equivalent to turning right on red in left-hand drive countries, such as the United States). U-turns are also illegal.

Taxis and Maxi Taxis in particular have been linked to many accidents and traffic fatalities. They will often stop without warning to pick up or drop off passengers, perform risky maneuvers, and generally reckless driving. While this may be illegal, the police do not seem to bother them except for occasional spot checkpoints and road blocks. Police action involving Maxi Taxis and Taxis generally occurs when they cause serious traffic problems, in which case, it is not uncommon for the Police and the town or city to relocate Maxi Taxis.

People will also park their vehicles in the middle of the road where there is no hard shoulder. Wait until the opposite lane clears, then go around the parked car.

In more populated areas, such as the cities of Port of Spain and San Fernando, beware of pedestrians, as jaywalking is the norm. Pedestrian crossing traffic signals are few and far between. Also, they require people to press the button in most cases. Most people don't bother and just wait for traffic to clear or cross the road. Be cautious, as hitting a pedestrian, walking or not, can cause you more trouble than hitting a car.

Time and distance

If you plan to go to the other side of the island (Trinidad), start early and allow all day with nothing important scheduled for the end of the afternoon. Although the island is not huge, getting somewhere may take longer than you think. With the influx of used cars from Asia (locally called "foreign used") and the growing economy, more people own cars than ever. Therefore, traffic jams are not uncommon, especially when going to Port of Spain.

Inter-island transportation

There are two options for traveling between Trinidad and Tobago: by ferry and by plane.

Traveling by plane will cost TT $ 300 (US $ 50) round trip or TT $ 150 per person. There are twelve flights per day. Flight time is approximately 25 minutes each way. Caribbean airlines [1] run the service.

There are two types of ferry service: fast and conventional.

Traveling by fast ferry costs TT $ 50 one way and TT $ 100 back. The vessels are T&T Express and The T&T Spirit, both owned by the Port Authority of Trinidad and Tobago. The trip is approximately 2.75 hours. The Express is the faster of the two ships, but the Spirit is newer and has better facilities.

Traveling by conventional ferry costs TT $ 37.50 one way and TT $ 75 round trip, but the trip is approximately 5.5 hours. The ships are the Panorama MF and the Spirit Warrior.

Vehicles can be brought on board the ferry, but this carries a different charge that varies by size and weight. A return trip for a private car costs TT $ 350. This includes the cost of the driver. It is unlikely that you will be able to take a rental car on the ferry as you need to show the vehicle registration documents.

Tickets for same-day travel can only be purchased at the ferry terminals in Port of Spain and Scarborough. For advance tickets, you must purchase tickets from some select travel agencies; at peak times, tickets sell out quickly, particularly for vehicles. For ferry schedules and travel agencies, see the website of the Port Authority.

Tip

Tipping has not been a custom, but it has become more common. Some restaurants, especially those in hotels or those that serve foreign tourists expect a tip. Most do not. Only airport taxis expect a tip. Local taxis don't.

Shopping

Prices in stores and warehouses are generally displayed and do not change depending on the customer. However, outdoor vendors are another story: they are likely to charge a different and higher price for a foreigner than for a local. Some will even suggest or require payment in US dollars. You can try haggling, or just smile and bear it.

Most items, except essential items and some other zero-rated items, attract Value Added Tax (VAT) at a rate of 15%. The tax is collected at the time of sale.

Weights and Measures

Eat and drink

To eat

Due to its varied experience, Trinidad and Tobago has excellent and varied food options. In particular, Indian roots have been added to some of the best food from any country in the world. If you cannot tolerate extremely hot and spicy foods, be sure to inform the cook or server in advance.

Popular at T&T are tasty rotis, Indian flatbreads filled with channa (chickpea curry), usually some meat, and other items (like green beans, squash, and mangoes). There are several types of roti available in Trinidad: sada, which is similar to pita or naan; dhalpouri, which is filled with ground yellow peas; and closed buses, a more abundant bread, with a silky texture. Cheap breakfasts of sada roti and 'choka' - vegetables of all kinds available for around TT $ 3-4. But the most popular quick snack is a 'double'. A famous place is "George Doubles", located in Woodbrook, outside the famous "Brooklyn Bar". Doubles are curried chickpeas encased in two pieces of fried bread and served with your choice of seasonings. It's a roadside snack, available everywhere for around TT $ 2- $ 4. "Ali's Doubles" is a chain that sells doubles. There are some places around Trinidad, mainly in San Fernando. Eat hot

Phoulourie is another popular roadside snack. Phoulourie are small balls made from fried ground chickpeas and flour. Often, street vendors, especially around the savannah, also offer popular snacks such as roasted corn, cow-heel soup, aloo cakes (fried potato cakes), and saheena (spinach dipped in batter and fried).

Callalú

Trinidad and Tobago is also famous for its delicious callaloo, a soup made from green leafy vegetables, similar to spinach or kale, sometimes with crab or pigtail (vegetarian beware!). Callalloo is not the most appetizing of foods to look at, but it is worth a try.

Another must try at T&T is the famous Bake and Shark or Shark 'n bake. Most easily obtained along the north coast near Maracas Bay, the shark chunks are deep fried, served in fried bread called "baked fry" and accompanied by various sauces, the most popular of which is a mashed beni shade (a coriander-like herb)

Baking and shark stand in Maracas

Another popular food traditionally associated with beach limes is pelau, usually accompanied by coleslaw. Pelau, however, is not available for purchase on the beach, although you can find it in a Creole restaurant.

If you have a sweet tooth, there are plenty of local sweets and treats to try, such as Toolum, Tambran Ball, Guava Cheese, Sugar Cake, Paw Paw Ball, Benna Ball, Jub Jub, Kurma, Barfi, Ladoo, Peera. Many of these will be available at the "lookout" on the way to Maracas beach, and prepackaged in some supermarkets.

Some American-style fast food chains are available, including KFC, Subway, Pizza Hut, and Burger King. There are also some franchise dining restaurants like TGI Friday's and Ruby Tuesday. There are some local chains like Royal Castle (chicken and chips) and Chicken Unlimited. These local fried chicken chains have a different flavor than American or European fried chicken chains. Pizza Boys and Mario's are two popular local Pizza chains. Pizza is quite different from American or Italian pizza.

Chinese food is available in many places in Chinese takeout stores. It is Cantonese in style, but the spices are exclusively Trinidadian.

Grilled chicken is another popular Trinbagonian dish. It is similar to American barbecue, but with local spices. There are roadside barbecue stands selling a box of grilled chicken (quarter) with fries, salad, and garlic bread. One popular spot is The Barbecue Hut, which is an outdoor tent where customers will buy barbecue to sit and eat or to go. It is on South Trunk Road in La Romaine, South Trinidad, near the Gulf City Mall. Please note that it is run by Muslims therefore no alcohol is allowed in the compound.

The condiments available at Trinbagon restaurants are ketchup, natural mustard, garlic sauce, shadon-beni sauce (a coriander-like herb), hot pepper, and many more depending on the location. Soy sauce is available in Chinese restaurants, along with an extremely spicy Chinese-style pepper sauce. If you take hot pepper as a condiment, be careful! It's really hot! You may see the locals putting a lot of pepper in their food, but remember they have been eating it for years so they are used to it. Better to give it a little try and if you feel comfortable add more. When in doubt, avoid it. Salt and black pepper are generally not available as in American restaurants.

Local bakeries sell pastries like meat and chicken pies and gooseberry rolls. They also sell hop bread, which are rolls made with white or whole wheat flour. Hop bread is best eaten warm and can be enjoyed with cheese or butter for a quick snack.

Grocery shopping

Grocery stores sell a wide variety of products and packaged goods. However, for really fresh produce, one can go to the market. Villages Really have a market day (or days) where vendors, usually local farmers, bring their produce to sell. The government publishes the prices of the products, however, one can negotiate to get a better price. Again, while weights and measures are officially in metric, most vendors use imperial units.

Halal food is readily available, most food establishments generally have signs. Fast food outlets like KFC and McDonald's also serve halal food. Many supermarkets also carry a wide range of fresh and processed halal meats.

To drink

Drinks without alcohol

The most refreshing drink on a hot sunny day is a large glass of delicious very cold Mauby, a drink made from the bark of the mauby tree and spices, such as anise and cinnamon. It is very refreshing and refreshing, but it can be an acquired taste, as it has a bitter taste.

Cold soft coconut jelly water, available along the roads, costs around TT $ 3-4. And try all the assorted local fruit juices, readily available chilled in most supermarkets.

Sorrel is a popular drink available around Christmas time. It is made from the boiled flowers of the Roselle plant (hibiscus sabdariffa). It is red in color and is enjoyed colder. It also has nutritional benefits.

Sodas are sweetened with cane sugar, rather than high fructose corn syrup, as is common practice in North America. This gives the sodas a different flavor, which some argue is better.

Malta is a popular drink, made from malt and hops and available in local bars, restaurants, and supermarkets. It's high in calories and packed with B vitamins, best enjoyed ice cream.

Alcoholic drinks

Ron

Being a former sugar cane colony, Trinidad and Tobago is famous for its rum. Popular rum brands are Black Label and Vat 19 from Fernandes and White Oak, Old Oak from Angostura. Some bars will allow you to purchase individual rum drinks, either directly with or without a chaser, or mixed. Some bars will allow you to buy a full bottle of rum, or a "half" that equals half a bottle. Some bars will sell a "bite" that is less than half. You can also buy bottles of rum in shops and in duty-free shops at the airport to take home. Puncheon rum is a stronger type of rum (not less than 75% alcohol). No es como el alcohol ilegal, pero definitivamente es más fuerte que el ron normal. De hecho, puede no ser legal llevarlo con usted. Sin embargo, es legal en Trinidad y Tobago y está disponible en muchos bares locales.

Beer

La cerveza está disponible y es muy popular. Las dos marcas más populares de cerveza son Carib y Stag, que se elaboran localmente. Además, algunas cervezas importadas como Miller están disponibles. Hay otras bebidas de licor de malta disponibles, elaboradas localmente, como Smirnoff Ice y varias cervezas gruesas (Mackeson, Guinness Export, etc.). No hay microcervecerías en Trinidad, y los amantes de la cerveza pueden encontrar las cervezas locales no a su gusto. Sin embargo, algunos bares importan una mayor variedad de cervezas. De particular interés es el bar All Out en el campo de cricket Queen's Park Oval en Puerto España (94 Tragarete Road), donde encontrará una selección razonable de cervezas inglesas en barril, que se venden por pinta.

Vino y otras bebidas espirituosas

El vino, el vodka, el tequila y otros licores suelen importarse. No hay bodegas en Trinidad y Tobago, ya que el clima tropical no es propicio para el cultivo de uvas. Sin embargo, muchos restaurantes servirán una variedad de vinos importados, y bares de vinos, como More Vino en Woodbrook, han abierto en los últimos años.

Leyes relacionadas con el alcohol.

No es sorprendente que beber alcohol en público no esté mal visto en Trinidad y Tobago. Es legal beber alcohol en público. La embriaguez pública puede hacer que lo arresten solo si participa en una conducta desordenada. También la edad legal para beber es de 18 años. Sin embargo, durante el día de las elecciones, la venta de alcohol está prohibida y no debe mostrarse abiertamente.
