More than 7,000 islands, islets and reefs make up the Caribbean, which is situated north of South America and southeast of North America. Well, they are not top destinations without a reason. From the colorful Havana to the white sand beaches and from the “once in a lifetime” experience of snorkeling in the Caribbean Sea to the Rastafarian dances in Jamaica, the Caribbean islands are worth visiting. Don’t make the mistake of locating your dream beach and stay there for the rest of your stay; all the islands have a rich historical and cultural background.

Largest Cities Edit

Records Edit
The Cayman Islands hold an unpleasant record: they have been affected by hurricanes more than any other region in the Atlantic, as a hurricane hits in the area every 2.23 years.
