The islands of the Caribbean sea stretch across thousands of miles, including a group of islands that forms an arc, known as the Antillean arc, which marks the boundary with the Atlantic ocean.
These islands offer incredibly diverse landscapes, ranging from white-sand beaches and turquoise waters to wide sugarcane plains and volcanic mountains covered in lush tropical vegetation. The surrounding coral reefs, some of the largest in the world, are home to a rich variety of marine life.
Shaped by European colonization and African influences, these islands are now a cultural crossroads where Creole, Latin and Indigenous traditions coexist.
