When Columbus arrived in the Caribbean on his first voyage in 1492, he encountered lush islands with beautiful landscapes, sandy beaches, and vibrant flora. He also met indigenous peoples, notably the Taíno, who were friendly and curious about the newcomers. Columbus noted the abundance of resources, including gold ornaments worn by the natives, which fueled his desire for further exploration and conquest. His observations laid the groundwork for European colonization in the Americas.

The Caribbean nation Trinidad and Tobago was first explored by Europeans when Christopher Columbus first found the islands on January 31, 1498 during his third voyage to the New World.

Columbus did not actually visit the island of Tobago, but he did sight the island and gave it its name about the time he visited Trinidad.
