Trinidad and Tobago lies between
latitudes 10-11N and longitudes 60-61W. They are the southernmost
of the Caribbean islands and are geologically an extension
of South America, situated only 10km (7mi) east of the
Venezuelean Mainland. Trinidad was separated from Venezuela
only 11,000 years ago during the last Ice Age and the
island has continental flora and fauna. Tobago has more
of an Antillean affinity due to its longer separation.
Trinidad is situated north of and opposite the mouth of
the Orinoco River and is separated from the South American
coast by the Gulf of Paria.
Tobago is 33 km (21 mi) northeast of Trinidad. Trinidad
measures 55 miles long by 40 miles with an area of 4828
sq km (1864 sq mi), while Tobago measures 26 by 7.5 miles
with an area of 300 sq km (116 sq mi). The total area
of the country is 5130 sq km (1981 sq mi). Come and visit
