The Caribbean is wonderful place filled with nothing but beauty, and that’s the reason why most people in the world dreams about visiting it at least once in their lifetime. Places like Cancun, the Bahamas, Aruba, Puerto Rico, Panama and Jamaica, as well as all the other beautiful beaches and gorgeous places of the Caribbean, are paradises for those people looking for adventure, perfect places for romance and excellent destinies for an unforgettable vacation.

Cancun, a well known tourist city, is located on the Yucatán peninsula, in Mexico. It is home of many hotels, restaurants and other tourist facilities, and one of the most famous and well-visited Caribbean hotspot. It has a beautiful view of the Caribbean sea and Isla Mujeres (Women’s Island). It’s an excellent vacation destination, as the city infrastructure is prepared to host a large number of tourists.

The Bahamas is also a top-pick: beautiful beaches and nights filled with mystique make this place unique, perfect for a dream honeymoon as well as for a romantic vacation with someone special. The Bahamas actually consist on more than seven hundred small islands and almost two thousand keys. Technically, these islands are not part of the Caribbean, but they share the beauty and paradise-like looks of the Caribbean area.

Part of the lesser Antilles, Aruba is an all-time pick for thousands of tourists that rely in its excellent sunny weather. Near Venezuela, Aruba is in fact under the administration of the Netherlands.

Puerto Rico, a history-rich, amazingly beautiful country, is also located on the Caribbean sea. It’s an Island located in the middle of the Virgin Islands and the Dominican Republic. Puerto Rico is known for its nightlife and its beautiful beaches, as well as for the kindness of its people.

Panama is not an island, but a continental country. It’s located between Costa Rica and Venezuela, and not only faces the Caribbean sea on one side, but also the Pacific Ocean on the other. It’s a very thin mass of land, which makes it easy to travel from one ocean to the other in a very short time. This is probably one of the reasons why Panama is among the most visited vacational resorts in Central America.

Jamaica, the land of the Rastafarian culture, is a country with a strong religious influence. People live in peace and are very kind, simple and polite. But make no mistake: Jamaica is not only a peaceful place, but also a premier Caribbean destination with a tourist infrastructure that is comparable to the most luxurious spots.
