Guide to Historical Sites

The history of Trinidad and Tobago is visible all over the islands: in old cocoa and sugar estates, in places of worship built by different communities, and in villages such as Lopinot, founded in the Northern Range in the early 1800s. Sites such as the Temple in the Sea at Waterloo and Robinson Crusoe's Cave in Tobago are popular stops.

Some sites are managed, with guides and set opening hours, while others are open spaces with no facilities. Places of worship may ask visitors to dress modestly and remove shoes.
