The Caribbean, a string of islands in the North American Caribbean Sea, simultaneously represents sunshine and stormy weather. From Barbados to Puerto Rico to the Cayman Islands, the Caribbean islands have been recognized by the science community as an important area that sustains a vast array of wildlife and plants, including many threatened species.
Though historically an area of seasonal and political chaos, the Caribbean islands remain a popular destination for honeymooning couples, family travelers and groups of college students looking for fun. Just avoid visiting during hurricane season (late summer/early fall) and you’ll be fine!
Plan to spend plenty of time outdoors—hiking, boating, kayaking, horseback riding and volcano exploration are among the most popular activities on many islands. Groove to the beat of local sounds performed on steel drums while sipping on a mixed drink made with local rum from sugar-cane juice. Then soothe that hole burning in your pockets by spending time with a beach vendor, getting pampered at a spa or trying your luck at a 24-hour hotel casino.
