Adventure Holidays In Tobago

Trinidad and Tobago are just barely off the coast of Venezuela , and Trinidad 's towering Northern Range is a continuation of the Andes . Scattering east to west, these mountains are home to the country’s highest peak, Cerro del Aripno at 941m. The rest of the island is made up of plains, rolling hills and mangrove swamps. Copious rivers snake across the island. Conversely, the island of Tobago has a central mountain range that reaches 620m at its highest point. Yawning lush valleys line a coastline dotted with coves and unspoiled beaches.
