The Scenic Journey to Toco
On Tuesday 26th December, 2006, a crew from TriniView.com traveled to the northeast coast region of Trinidad to the village of Toco. It was indeed a marvelous experience to journey through the long, winding and sometimes stony roads and witness the gorgeous beaches along the east and the north coasts.

A Brief History of Toco
The village of Toco is the most northeasterly village on the island of Trinidad at the point where the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean meet. Tobago lies only some 35 kilometers to the northeast which renders Toco the closest point in Trinidad to the sister island. The name Toco was ascribed to the area by its early Amerindian inhabitants. The meaning of the name is uncertain, yet its historical significance and value to the country is well noted.
