Information about Trinidad Travel

[Guest guest]

Jai Guru Datta.

 

A number of US devotees are inquiring about the travel to Trinidad and

acommodation. This information is intended for US residents only.

 

I hope the following information is useful:

 

1) The airport you fly to Trinidad is " Port of Spain." Air code is

"POS"

 

2) Taxis are available to go to Dattatreya Yoga Center / Sri Ganapathi

Sachchidananda Swamiji Ashram. It takes about 45 minutes to reach the Ashram.

 

 

3) You may be able to reserve a Taxi before you leave by calling one

of the phone numbers listed. When you reserve a taxi before you leave, you

may want to wear Datta Vastram after the customs so that the Taxi person can

recognize you.

 

4) If you are a US citizen, you do not need Trinidad Visa to enter the

country. Non-US residents require Visa. It is better to call or check the

website to get updated information about VISAS and Travel Restrictions.
