| Few destinations boast as much sun-drenched tropical beauty or cultural
diversity as the islands of the Caribbean. This region has a distinctive fusion of influences from Europe, Africa and Latin
America, which make up a wonderful quilt-work of cultures amongst a breathtaking backdrop of lush tropical jungles, fresh
water caves, white-sand beaches, charming cities and ancient ruins.
This region's histories and cities are fascinating, from the ancient Mayan city of Tulum on the Yucatan Peninsula,
to the Chacchoben ruins near Costa Maya. Hear the legends of Aruban gold, Jamaican voodoo or the origins of St. Maarten's
half-French, half-Dutch culture. Each island has its own incredible story. |
