Trinidad Carnival in February!
Trinidad Carnival has been described by many as one of the most colorful and culturally diverse pre-Lenten celebrations in the world. It is the biggest, most explosive, and vibrant festival where people from all walks of life come together for a celebration of culture, calypso, and cuisine. Trinidad ’s Carnival is not a typical parade. You don’t stand along side the road and watch the masquerade bands go by. You join in, sing, dance and are completely part of the event. In 2009, the Trinidad Carnival culminates on February 23 and 24.
Carnival was introduced to Trinidad by the French in 1783 in the form of elaborate masquerade balls thrown by plantation owners. Banned from the festivities, the African slaves would hold their own celebrations using rituals and folklore while imitating their masters’ behavior. Once slavery was abolished in 1838, the freed Africans took their Carnival celebration to the streets and, as each new immigrant population entered Trinidad, a new flavor was added to the festivities. Today, the diverse culture of both islands has influenced the music, food, and traditions of the festival.
Trinidad & Tobago is located in the southeastern region of the Caribbean. With their careful approach to tourism, the dual island nation offers one of the last absolutely unspoiled Caribbean destinations. Trinidad is home to the world-famous Carnival and the birth of the steel pan drum. Tobago, sister island to Trinidad, is the quintessential Caribbean island with secluded beaches, quaint villages, award-winning eco-attractions, and private villas.

Horseback Riding in St. Maarten
With tropical rainforests, cascading waterfalls, and 37 sun-swept beaches, there is no lack of beautiful landscapes and natural diversity in St. Maarten. Visitors to this beautiful Caribbean nation can opt to explore the different parts of the island in a way that’s as unique as St. Maarten itself — on horseback. There are several equestrian tours available for novice and expert riders that offer an extraordinary way to see the sites.
On horseback, riders can explore rarely-traveled nature trails leading to hidden coves or pristine waterfalls, ride alongside the beautiful turquoise water as the sun sets in the distance, or discover the lush St. Maarten vegetation and beautiful overlooks that showcase this picturesque island. Embarking on a horseback ride enables visitors to tackle more rigorous terrain and discover off the beaten path areas that are difficult to access on foot. With numerous historical sites that are scattered throughout the island, travel by horseback also allows entry to cultural and historical wonders that cannot be accessed by car.
The ease of traveling by horseback is also ideal for families, benefiting both children and adults looking for an easier way to reach some of St. Maarten’s highest peaks to experience some of the country’s most breathtaking views. Following are two of the equestrian experiences available in St. Maarten:
