The Caribbean

mountains, rain forests and black, as well as white, sandy beaches.
The western portion of the Caribbean is well-known for the ancient Mayan ruins that
abound, as well as for the luxurious resorts, carnivals and local festivities occurring
frequently throughout the year. St. Maarten, St. Thomas, San Juan and Barbados are
among the most popular travel destinations in the southern Caribbean and offer tourists
an authentic island experience.
