24 hours in Belmont
Doubles at eight, a Savannah walk, downtown lunch, a pan yard rehearsal, and dinner on Ariapita. One day, one small radius, no driving.
Every returning guest at The Sanctuary has an itinerary they lean on. We have written the ones that come up most: the twenty-four-hour layover, the long weekend, the full week, and Carnival week end to end.
The full set of itineraries is being written up. Below is a preview of the four we recommend most, each written to be borrowed and adjusted to your interests, weather, and how much driving you want to do.
Doubles at eight, a Savannah walk, downtown lunch, a pan yard rehearsal, and dinner on Ariapita. One day, one small radius, no driving.
Belmont on Friday, Maracas on Saturday, Sunday lunch at home, then Down the Islands on Monday. Three nights, two coasts, one drive north.
Two nights in Belmont, an overnight in Tobago, Asa Wright for a day, Caroni for the sunset, and the pan yards every evening. The unhurried version.
From Panorama semi-final Saturday through Carnival Tuesday. Fetes, pan yards, J’ouvert at four in the morning, and two long days of mas. Everything you need, hour by hour.
The Belmont guide, the Savannah walk, and the Carnival calendar together already cover most of what any itinerary borrows from.
Nine walks, ten photographs, and the food map within a ten-minute radius.
Queen's Park Savannah, the Magnificent Seven, and the 5.30am joggers' loop.
Panorama, J’ouvert, Monday and Tuesday. Dates through 2031.
