Gasparillo Island

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Gasparillo is a small island in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. It is one of the "Bocas Islands" (also referred to as Dragons' Teeth), which lie in the Bocas del Dragón between the main island of Trinidad and Venezuela. The island is currently uninhabited. Gasparillo is actually made up of two islands separated by several metres of rocks. However the second island is very small and is not independently named. The main island a little over 200 metres in length but is very narrow, less than 50 metres at its widest point, approximately 8,000 m² in area. It is, as with most islands around the Paria Peninsular, covered with dry forest vegetation, and composed of a limestone bedrock with caves. Several species of birds nest at the island, including the Short-tailed Swift that nest on the eastern side of the island.
