Trinidad is an island nation located just off the coast of Venezuela in the Caribbean Sea. It is the larger of the two islands making up the nation of Trinidad and Tobago, the other being Tobago.

Trinidad has a long and rich history. It was first settled by the Arawak and Carib Indians, and was later colonized by the Spanish in the 16th century. The British took control in 1797, and Trinidad remained a British colony until 1962, when it gained its independence.
Trinidad is known for its vibrant culture, with influences from all of its many ethnicities. The Carnival celebration is one of the most popular events on the island, with its vibrant costumes, music, and dance. Music is also a big part of Trinidad's culture, with calypso and soca being the two main genres.
