f you think that the
Caribbean is just lying on the white beaches and drinking cocktails
while listening to the typical Caribbean music in the background, you
are wrong. The Caribbean is so much more than that. There is
something for everybody there, from climbing the mountain peaks to
swimming in the shining reefs. It is a place for both salsa and
reggae lovers. Moreover, it is filled with pirate hideouts for those
adventurous at heart. It is not a place which offers just tropical
vacations. It is a good place to live as well, just make sure to ask
for some assistance when moving to a distant place.
Its economy is booming thanks to tourism. Because
of its sunny climate and all sorts of adventurous activities, it has
become one of the most favorite places to visit during the winter
season.
So, if you are planning to move, or just to visit it, keep on reading
to find the best tips for exploring the Caribbean.

Seeking
Adventure?

Forget the beach!
The Caribbean offers many great outdoor activities for those who love
being adventurous.
Just go a little further away from the waves, the beach and the tall
palm trees and you will find adrenaline-pumping excitement that is
suitable for those brave ones as well as those who want to start
living that YOLO kind of life.
So, what are you waiting for? Adventure awaits! Here are some of the
best places which offer great outdoor activities you can do while
exploring the Caribbean:

• 
  Dominica
  - Here you can enjoy exploring five active volcanoes which are still
  a 'work
  in progress'.
  And if you think that is not for you, there is plenty more to do.
  You can go hiking, mountain climbing and swimming through a
  white-water gorge.
  
• 
  Puerto Rico
  - Are you a fan of zip lines? If the answer is yes, then you are in
  the right place. Puerto Rico is home to the largest zip line in the
  world. Here, you will fly above the forest like Superman for almost
  three minutes.
  
• 
  Aruba
  – Well, Aruba is not all about flamingos. It is a place where you
  can enjoy free falling and tandem jumping together with them. And,
  unlike anywhere else in the world - no experience necessary!
  
• 
  The Cayman
  Islands - It
  is a place where you can try diving with Silversides, or you can
  enjoy a hike called mastic trail located on the north side of the
  island. Just beware of the wildlife. There are
  many hidden gems in the Cayman Islands,
  so try to find a few while you are here.

Music Lovers -
You Will Love It Here

Although you can
experience authentic Caribbean music all over the country, Jamaica
is the right place to go if you want to get to know the roots.
Thanks
to Jamaica, we now have reggae,
dancehall, ska, calypso and mento,
which are now popular all over the world.
However, the situation is a bit different today. The atmosphere is
completely eclectic, and the best way to experience this is to visit
one of the most popular music festivals - Montego
Bay’s Reggae Sumfest.
It takes place every July, so make sure to visit it if you have a
chance.

you are a music lover, here, you will have time of your

Party Goers - You
Will Be Amazed

It goes without
saying that every tropical country offers great party experiences. It
has something for everybody's taste. The Caribbean has every party
animal’s dream covered. If you are more into casual drinking,
Trinidad is a place for you. Trinidad has small roadside bars that
attract many tourists. However, if you talk to the locals, they will
gladly tell you which parties are the best. Do
not be afraid to talk to the locals, not just in Trinidad, but in
every other place in the Caribbean, because that is the best way to
find those hidden party gems.
As tourism is booming, there are many pubs, bars, and clubs opening
everywhere. So, wherever you go, you will find a place with great
music, delicious cocktails, and friendly people. And if you like
Elvis, you can join a special
cruise that will take place on Royal Caribbean’s Adventure of
the Seas in 2020.
Moreover, if you want an all-out party experience, we strongly
recommend visiting the Carnival.

A Place For
Gourmets

If you want to try
authentic and traditional Caribbean cuisine, Mexico is the place for
that. However, Mexico is huge, so its cuisine varies from place to
place. But, we strongly recommend visiting Cancun. The
City of Cancun is famous for many things - spring break, holiday
resorts, one of the best beaches in the world, margaritas and
tequilas and, of course, the food!
But do not go to American restaurants here. You did not
move out of Brooklyn on a budget
to eat at Mc Donald's. Ask locals for recommendations. We strongly
recommend trying Mexican tortilla at curb-side street stalls which is
truly one of a kind.

When
exploring the Caribbean, you must visit Mexico and try
tacos![/caption]

Looking for
History and Culture?

Living or just
spending your holiday on the Caribbean does not have to mean only
laying on the beach or going to parties. If
you like history, but not that boring textbook kind, you can enjoy
some unique history lessons in many places like:

• 
  Antigua
  - it is a perfect place for those people who prefer a laid back
  style of vacation while still being able to pick up on some history
  and culture facts. And to do that, there is no place better than
  Harmony Hall at Nonsuch Bay. It is filled with museums and
  galleries. Moreover, if you like ruins and fortresses, visit Shirley
  Heights.
  
• 
  Bermuda - a
  place rich in history and culture. One of the oldest English towns
  is located in Bermuda, which is now a UNESCO World Heritage site. It
  is every historian's heaven full of artifacts, abandoned
  ships,
  Titanic memorabilia, and a display Bermuda Triangle.
  
• 
  Puerto Rico
  - it is not your typical Caribbean island. It is unique because it
  has a mixture of Spanish, Taino, African culture with a lot of
  influence from American culture.  Everything is different here,
  food, music, museums, galleries, and people.
