 Stretching
from the southern shores of the United States like stepping stones
on the Caribbean Sea to the northern coast of South America, the Caribbean
has long intrigued travelers. From the early Indian settlements to
the Western pirates and plantations to the modern resort complexes,
the islands continue to lure visitors to their golden shores. |
| The Caribbean is known for its white sand beaches, warm
tropical breezes and inordinately clear waters. Some of the best scuba
diving and snorkleing is off the west coasts of the islands
of the Lesser Antilles, like Barbados
and St. Lucia.
The interior of the Caribbean islands offer unique oppotunities for
jungle trekking;
check out El
Yunque in Puerto Rico or the amazing Dunns
River Falls in Jamaica. There is a rich history behind the
conquest of the Caribbean islands. Many islands have renovated their
sugar plantations into country
inns. For an armchair tour of the Caribbean, click the Photo Tour button to the left. Explore. Relax. Enjoy. Destination: Caribbean. |
