The two islands lie off the northern coast of Venezuela and include diverse habitats ranging from mangrove swamps to rainforests and coral reefs. Attractions include the Caroni Swamp with its scarlet ibis colony, the Asa Wright Nature Centre in the Arima Valley and the natural asphalt deposit at La Brea Pitch Lake in southwestern Trinidad. The capital Port of Spain features colonial architecture including the Magnificent Seven along Western Main Road, the Red House parliament building and the Royal Botanic Gardens. Tobago provides beaches such as Pigeon Point Beach, Store Bay and Englishman's Bay, plus Fort King George above Scarborough. The Tobago Forest Reserve protects one of the oldest protected rainforest areas in the Western Hemisphere, while Little Tobago Island serves as a bird sanctuary.
