Lopinot

Trinidad has a diverse cultural history that includes Spanish, French, Indian, African and British influences. As Christmas time approaches the Spanish influence is felt, particularly in the village of Lopinot. Originally settled by a French count, Lopinot is now home to descendants of Venezuelan cocoa farmers.

Every year there is a cultural festival in the village, when people can enjoy the parang music as well as delicacies such as pastelle.
