The Caribbean holds a special place in the hearts of adventure travelers. Although often portrayed as a destination of sun and fun which it so delightfully can be), these islands present amyriad of outdoor challenges: scuba diving, snorkeling, cycling, hiking, sailing, just about any type of warm-weather sport imaginable.
Some of the region’s special treasures are found in small packages - islands whose petite size belies their many activities. The Caribbean spans more than 2,000 miles east-to-west and 1,000 miles north-to-south, starting just off the coast of Florida and arching down to the coast of South America.
This part of the world is blessed with year-round sunshine, with water warmed by Caribbean currents and shores cooled by gentle trade winds.Winter and summer temperatures differ by only about five degrees. |
