Toco is still one of the most unspoiled places in Trinidad and Tobago, with many hidden gems littered throughout this northeast region. Once one of the most isolated areas in the country – up until the 1930s – the beauty of this region only grew more magical as time passed. Toco is known for its lighthouse, turtles, and even its Old Boys and Fisherman fetes during the summer.  But there are many more reasons to visit Toco.
