The beauty of the nature of Tobago once inspired Daniel Defoe to let his famous castaway Robinson Crusoe land there. The island appeared to the hero as a planted Garden of Eden, and it is still impressive today. Main Rich Forest Reserve is the earliest preserved virgin rainforest in the western hemisphere (since 1776).

Arawak people were the first settlers on the island. Later the Caribs came from South America. The name Chistopher Columbus gave the island in 1498 was Bellaforma, later it became the name Tobago from Tobacco, which was growm on the island. Tobago was colonised by the British Empire. With the colonization different plants come to the island, such as cocoa and sugar cane. Plantations of these plants were driven with the labour force of slaves until the abolishment of slavery in 1833.

The island state Trinidad and Tobago belongs geographycally to South America, because of its nature. At the end of the last ice age melting glaciers caused the sea level to raise turning Trinidad and Tobago into islands.
Ian Flemming was inspired by the book Birds of the West Indies, written by the ornithologist james Bond, who made his research on Tobago and gave its name to the very famous protagonist of his romans: the British secret agent, Commander James Bond.

The documentation shows also the different fishing methods of the tobagonians. Some still fish in a very traditional manner by throwing the fishing nets into the sea and pull them back on the beach. The locals sell the fish at the market in Scarborough.

Liming ist the tobagonian art of doing nothing. People get together, drink and play cards. And of course music plays an important role on the village. Every Sunday is Sunday school, a huge street party featuring bands playing the steelpan.

Why Guyana, Suriname & Belize Part of the Caribbean?

Though Guyana, Suriname, and Belize are geographically located in South and Central America respectively, they are all considered to be Caribbean countries. Buy why?

Guyana in South America borders Venezuela, Suriname, and Brazil, and Suriname similarly borders Brazil, Guyana, and French Guiana, a French territory. It is even a more extreme case for Belize, which shares its border with only Mexico and Guatemala, and is surrounded by only Spanish-speaking countries.

So why are these countries often grouped together with the Caribbean? And what makes a region the Caribbean begin to begin with? Let’s now tackle this question.

12 Fascinating Things You Never Knew About The Caribbean

There are more than 7,000 islands in the Caribbean. They are spread out over many different countries. Each island has its own rich history and interesting culture. It starts in the far north of South America and goes all the way to the top of North America and Mexico.
It is a popular tourist spot because its beaches are lined with palm trees and its land is full of busy cities. Whether you're thinking of going to Cuba or Barbados, it's easy to get caught up in the laid-back vibe of the island.
Let us know 12 fascinating facts we bet you didn’t know about the Caribbean!
12. First commercial rum was sold in the Caribbean Islands
The Caribbean has a long history of rum. For centuries, the islands of the Caribbean have been home to sugarcane plantations, and rum has been produced as a by-product of the sugar production process. Rum first became commercially available in the Caribbean in the early 1600s, and it quickly became popular among sailors and pirates who frequented the region.
In 1655, the English took control of Jamaica from the Spanish, and they began to produce rum on a large scale. Rum was cheaper than other alcoholic beverages at this time, so it quickly became the drink of choice for many people in the Caribbean. By the 1800s, rum was being exported from the Caribbean to North America and Europe, where it became increasingly popular.
11. Moruga Scorpion chilli pepper is one of the hottest peppers in the world
The tiny Caribbean country of Trinidad and Tobago is home to one of the hottest peppers in the world. The pepper, called the Moruga Scorpion, was first grown in the village of Moruga in Trinidad. It wasn't until 2012 that the pepper was officially recognized as the world's hottest, after it was tested by New Mexico State University.
The Moruga Scorpion measures an average of 2 inches (5 cm) long and 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide. But don't let its size fool you – this pepper packs a powerful punch. Its heat level ranges from 1.2 million to 2 million Scoville Heat Units (SHU), which is significantly hotter than even the notoriously spicy habanero pepper (which tops out at around 350,000 SHU).
In fact, just 0.1 grams of Moruga Scorpion extract is enough to make 500 cans of chili sauce feel fiery hot!
10. The name “Caribbean” comes from the region’s indigenous tribes
The Caribbean region is named after the indigenous tribes that lived there prior to European colonization. It is derived from the name Carib tribe.
Some historians believe that the name Carib was given to the indigenous people by Christopher Columbus, who mistook them for Native Americans. However, others claim that the name predates Columbus and was used by other cultures to describe the peoples of the Caribbean.
Whatever its origins, the name “Caribbean” is now inextricably linked with the history and culture of this unique corner of the world.

PORT OF SPAIN, TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO - Welcome to Port of Spain, the Capital of Trinidad and Tobago islands in the Caribbean! I’m so excited to finally be here. So many of you have written to me over the years inviting me to visit for the amazing food and culture, so it’s really an honor to finally be here and to explore the incredible food. Let’s get started eating, we’re jumping straight into a massive 20 hour day of eating local street food!

Huge thank you to #visitTrinidad for inviting me to Trinidad and Tobago and for making this trip happen!

Friends in the video:
Zaak (Foodie Tales with Zaak):
Baidawi (Eatahfood):
David (D’Market Movers):
Brent (Hungry Belly 868):

And here’s everything we did in the video, and all the food we ate:

Central Market - We started off today at the Central Market in Port of Spain, bright and early in the morning before 7 am. And with Baidawi and David, who go to the market every weekend to do their shopping and have breakfast, we were in the right hands. After exploring the market and the amazing produce and ingredients that go into food in Trinidad and Tobago we then headed to the food court for some local fish broth and cow heel soup.

EatAhFood - Baidawi makes fantastic food videos, especially recipes, and so we bought ingredients and headed back to his house to cook Callaloo, an Afro Caribbean food of simmered down taro leaves and pumpkin and coconut milk. It was so good!

Roti - One of the greatest of all Trinidadian foods is roti - different from anywhere else. The rotis are huge and fresh and then stuffed with pumpkin, potato, and curry of your choice. An afternoon bulging roti with Zaak, was absolutely delicious.

Queens Park Savannah - Port of Spain - To continue on with this street food tour in Trinidad and Tobago, we went to Queens Park Savannah for a coconut and then continued on to the evening street food market to sample a bunch of different local foods - everything from doubles to pholourie and roast fish.

Yousef Gyro ( - Trinidad and Tobago is so diverse and there’s even a local Middle Eastern population including Yousef Gyro, owned by descendants of Syrian immigrants. They make all sorts of wraps and gyros and combinations you won’t find anywhere else. This is the ultimate late night food in Trinidad!

Dass Doubles Factory ( - We did have a quick doubles at the street food night market, but we went to Dass Doubles Factory for the real deal late night doubles. They made the barras fresh and load them up with heavy peppa sauce and delicious curry chickpeas.

Hadco Phase II Pan Groove Orchestra Pan Yard ( - Finally to complete this day we were treated to a panyard lime to see the ultimate instrument of Trinidad and Tobago - steel pan! It was so cool to see and an amazing way to wrap up this ultimate street food tour - and they have delicious food!

Again, thank you to everyone who made this video possible and to #visitTrinidad!

People of The Caribbean - Ethnic Diversity of Independent Caribbean Countries

The Caribbean is one of the most ethnically diverse regions in the western hemisphere with a broad geographic and cultural scope, and the ethnicities across the region vary widely too. On a wide scale, a sense of pan-Caribbean identity unites all of the Caribbean people, though individual backgrounds and ethnic origins differ widely.

In today’s presentation, we are going to look at the various ethnic identities in the Caribbean. But first, a disclaimer. The Caribbean has been home to immigrants from around the world for more than 500 years, bringing dozens of ethnic groups into contact. So ethnic identity in the Caribbean is rarely a simple matter, it becomes a complex tapestry interwoven with each other.

That being said, let's go through the main contributors to ethnic identities in the Caribbean, and break down the various ethnic groups and origins of the Caribbean people.

How Many Countries Are There in the Caribbean?

Did you know that Caribbean Islands consists of 13 different countries? In this video, I will be exploring with you the 13 countries found on the Caribbean islands.
Now, before we get started, I just want to say that Caribbean is sometimes regarded as part of the North American continent, while other times it is regarded as a region of it is own.
However, almost everyone agrees that there are 13 different countries with 15 different territories on the Caribbean islands. So, without further ado, let's get into it. These are the 13 different Caribbean countries!
1. Antigua and Barbuda
This tropical paradise is located in the Caribbean Sea and has a total area of just 443 square kilometres. Although it is small in size, it is big on beauty with stunning beaches, crystal clear waters, and lush vegetation.
The population of Antigua and Barbuda is 97,120 people. The capital city is St. John's which is located on the main island of Antigua. The majority of the population (96%) are of African descent while the remaining 4% are of European or other ancestry. English is the official language, but many people also speak Antiguan Creole.
Did you know the fact that Antigua and Barbuda have 365 beaches? Some of the most popular include Half Moon Bay, Coco Beach, Long Bay Beach, Creamsicle Beach, and Hermitage Bay.
2. The Bahamas
The Bahamas is an archipelagic country located in the Atlantic Ocean and the land area is about 13,880 square kilometres (5,358 square miles) with a population of 389,480 people. The capital city is Nassau on New Providence Island.
The archipelagic state consists of more than 700 islands, cays, and islets in the Atlantic Ocean. And guess what? Only 30 of the 700 islands are inhabited.
The geography of The Bahamas is unique because it has so many offshore coral reefs - which make up about 80% off its coastline! These coral reefs attract scuba-divers from all over the world.
3. Barbados
The island of Barbados is located in the Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean region. It has an area of 430 square kilometres and a population of 287,020. The capital city is Bridgetown.
Barbados' official language is English, but many people on the island also speak Bajan, which is a local form of English.
4. Cuba
Cuba is an island country located in the Caribbean Sea. It has an area of 110,860 sq. kilometres with a population of 11,333,480.
Havana is the capital and guess what? Spanish is Cuba’s official language. Cuba has a rich culture due largely to its history and mix of races including Spanish, African, Chinese and other Caribbean cultures.
Music and dance are an important part of Cuban culture with salsa, rumba and mambo being popular genres. The country is also renowned for its cigars which are made using tobacco grown in the Vuelta Abajo region.

At the beginning of the Holocene the northern part of South America was occupied by groups of small-game hunters, fishers and foragers. These groups occasionally resided in semi-permanent camp sites, while mostly being mobile in order to make use of a wide range of plant and animal resources in a variety of habitats.[1]

Archaeological evidence suggests that Trinidad was the first Caribbean island to have been settled as early as 9000/8000 BCE. However, the first settlers most likely arrived in Trinidad when it was still attached to South America by land bridges.[2] It was not until about 7000/6000 BCE, during the early Holocene that Trinidad became an island due to a significant jump in sea level by about 60 m. Climate change may have been a cause for this sea level rise. Hence Trinidad was the only Caribbean Island that could have been colonised by indigenous people from the South American mainland by not traversing hundreds or thousands kilometres of open sea.[3] The earliest major habitation sites discovered in Trinidad are the shell midden deposits of Banwari Trace and St. John, which have been dated between 6000 and 5100 BCE. Both shell middens represent extended deposits of discarded shells that originally yielded a food source and stone and bone tools.[4] They are considered to belong to the Ortoiroid archaeological tradition, named after the similar but much more recent Ortoire site in Mayaro, Trinidad.

Classifying Caribbean prehistory into different ages has proven a difficult and controversial task.[5] In the 1970s archaeologist Irving Rouse defined three ages to classify Caribbean prehistory: the Lithic, Archaic and Ceramic Age, based on archaeological evidence.[6] Current literature on Caribbean prehistory still uses the three aforementioned terms, however, there is much dispute regarding their usefulness and definition. In general, the Lithic Age is considered the first era of human development in the Americas and the period where stone chipping is first practised.[7] The ensuing Archaic age is often defined by specialised subsistence adaptions, combining hunting, fishing, collecting and the managing of wild food plants.[8] Ceramic Age communities manufactured ceramic and made use of small-scale agriculture.[9]

With the exception of Trinidad the first Caribbean islands were settled between 3500 and 3000 BCE, during the Archaic Age. Archaeological sites of this period have been located in Barbados, Cuba, Curaçao and St. Martin, followed closely by Hispaniola and Puerto Rico.[10] This settlement phase is often attributed to the Ortoiroid culture.

Between 800 and 200 BCE a new migratory group expanded through the Caribbean island: the Saladoid.[11] This group is named after the Saladero site in Venezuela, where their distinctive pottery (typically distinguished by white-on-red painted designs) was first identified.[12] The introduction of pottery and plant domestication to the Caribbean is often attributed to Saladoid groups and represents the beginning of the Ceramic Age. However, recent studies have revealed that crops and pottery were already present in some Archaic Caribbean populations before the arrival of the Saladoid.[13] Although a large amount of Caribbean Islands were settled during the Archaic and Ceramic Age, some islands were presumably visited much later. For example, Jamaica has no known settlements until around 600 AD while the Cayman Islands show no settlement evidence before European arrival.[14]

Following the colonisation of Trinidad it was originally proposed that Saladoid groups island-hopped their way to Puerto Rico. However, current research tends to move away from this stepping-stone model[15] in favour of the southward route hypothesis. The southward route hypothesis proposes that the northern Antilles were settled directly from South America followed by progressively southward movements into the Lesser Antilles. This hypothesis has been supported by both radiocarbon dates and seafaring simulations.[16] One initial impetus of movement from the mainland to the northern Antilles may have been the search for high quality materials such as flint. Flinty Bay on Antigua, is one of the best known sources of high quality flint in the Lesser Antilles. The presence of flint from Antigua on many other Caribbean Islands highlights the importance of this material during the Pre-Columbian period.[17]

The period from 650 to 800 AD saw major cultural, socio-political and ritual reformulations, which took place both on the mainland and in many Caribbean islands.[18] The Saladoid interaction sphere disintegrated rapidly. Furthermore, this period is characterised with a change in climate. Centuries of abundant rainfall were replaced by prolonged droughts and increased hurricane frequency. In general the Caribbean population increased and communities changed from residence in a single village to the creation of settlement cluster. mapa del caribe , #caribbean , #caribe
