Trinidad and Tobago: Rest of Tobago


Click on the small picture to see a larger, more detailed version. I toured Trinidad, staying at the Asa Wright Nature Centre, and Tobago, staying at the Blue Waters Inn. The trip was led by Jan Hansen (dba Otus Asio Tours otusasiotours@bellsouth.net). He leads a variety of trips, all of which I would recommend.
