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.

Questions visitors ask

Are historical sites free to visit?

Many are free. Managed sites and guided tours may charge a small fee, so carry some cash.

Who looks after heritage sites?

The National Trust of Trinidad and Tobago lists and protects many heritage sites and buildings. Local communities and groups care for others.

Can I take photographs?

Usually, yes. At places of worship and private estates, ask first and respect any signs.
