The Carina Nebula represents one of the largest and most active star forming regions known in our Galaxy. It contains numerous very massive (M>~40M_{sun}) stars that strongly act the surrounding clouds by their ionizing radiation and stellar winds. Our recently obtained Herschel PACS & SPIRE far-infrared maps cover the full area (~~8.7{deg}^2^) of the Carina Nebula complex and reveal the population of deeply embedded young stellar objects, most of which are not yet visible in the mid- or near-infrared. We study the properties of the 642 objects that are independently detected as point-like sources in at least two of the five Herschel bands. For those objects that can be identified with apparently single Spitzer counterparts, we use radiative transfer models to derive information about the basic stellar and circumstellar parameters.
