The string of islands that run south from Florida and end east of Venezuela are synonymous with white-sand beaches and swaying palms. From the rainforest covered peaks of Jamaica’s Blue Mountains to trails that lead to waterfalls in Grenada, island interiors are as deserving of attention as the coastlines. The Caribbean is a playground for hikers, sailors, birdwatchers, mountain bikers, and horse riders. The experiences you can expect on a Caribbean holiday are as diverse as the rum cocktail recipes served at the islands’ beach bars.
