Which country in the Caribbean should you visit?

Speaking of the Caribbean, do you think of pirates first? In fact, there are many interesting countries in the Caribbean. You can learn some related strategies by going there. The following are the tourist attractions recommended by the editor.

The Bahamas

Paradise Island, Nassau Pink Beach, Pig Island

The Bahamas has more than 700 islands and more than 2,400 reefs, scattered like pearls On the vast blue ocean, it has become the most popular destination in the recent Latin American boom. Almost all girls’ fantasies about sun, ocean, and beach can be realized on a small island here, and it will give you more unexpected surprises.

5 things to do in the Bahamas:

1. Go to Harbor Island and check in at the Pink Beach

2. Go to Pig Island and learn about the Internet Celebrity suckling pig.

3. Swim closely with the little nurse shark

4. Eat Bahamian lizards and take photos.

5. Stay at the Atlantis Hotel in Paradise Island for one night

Swim with the tiger-headed nurse shark:

It has always been difficult for sharks to avoid "you" You have to call me daddy in the ocean,” but that’s not the case with the Exuma nurse sharks. They are petite and look like catfish. And because it is artificially fed, although it also has a wide dorsal fin, it will not bite the thigh easily. It is very docile and likes to lie quietly on the bottom of the water and catch small fish to eat.

You can swim with nurse sharks, feel free to touch their backs, and meet some naughty little guys who like to swim past people quickly, flick their tails, and bump their butts~

Feeding rare lizards at close range:

The lizards on the Bahamas are ugly and a bit scary, but they are really gentle (they are quite big, but they cannot beat the birds on the island). They are authentic vegetarians who follow fairy-like eating habits. They are very satisfied after eating some plant roots/fruits/petals/bread~ When the timid guys are fed, they will twist around and then run away quickly~

The lizards in the Bahamas are protected by the world's nature The alliance lists it as "rare", so although the scene of "lizard docking" is unforgettable, don't scare them~ Those who are brave can get close to them and take selfies~

Paradise Island, the world's top resort:

Paradise Island in the Bahamas is an artificial island separated by a bridge from the capital Nassau. The Atlantis resort on the island is a world-famous tourist attraction with a long beach and 14 acres of "Atlantis Beachfront". The resort also has a specially built outdoor aquarium with a "Lost Empire" theme. There are many abandoned building ruins and sunken ships in the huge aquarium. Groups of marine life shuttle through it, as if you are in the mysterious Atlantis. The hotel facilities are also very complete, with everything you need for shopping, and even a free movie theater!

When you come to the Bahamas, it is strongly recommended to stay directly on Paradise Island, and then join the local speedboat group the next day to go to the nearby Harbor Island, Pig Island, and Lizard Island~

Tips :

Since speedboat tours are not available every day, it is recommended to book online in advance, so that you don’t have to worry about the embarrassment of not being able to book a seat when you want to go.

Mexico

Cancun, Mayan civilization, Isla Mujeres, various theme parks.

When it comes to traveling to the Caribbean, many people’s first thought may be to go to Cancun. Cancun means "pot hanging at the end of the rainbow" in Mayan and is considered a symbol of joy and happiness. It is located at the northeastern tip of the Yucatan Peninsula. The annual average temperature is 27.5 degrees, and there are 240 sunny days a year. Even if it rains, it will soon clear up and a rainbow will hang in the sky. Maybe this is the meaning of the name Cancun~

There is the famous "7"-shaped coastal hotel area, and the beautiful Tiffany Blue Sea can be seen on the beach of the hotel. There are also ancient and mysterious Mayan civilization ruins, as well as various theme parks built in nature! If you could only have one destination in your Caribbean plans, I would definitely recommend Cancun!

5 things you must do when going to Cancun:

1. Go to Chen Chi Itza to explore the secrets of the Mayan civilization.

2. Swim in the dark green pit surrounded by vines.

3. Snorkeling! Snorkeling! Snorkeling! Say important things three times.

4. Go to Pink Lake among Internet Celebrities to check out the concave shape and take photos!

5. Hey, go to the theme park and get in touch with tropical creatures.

One of the New Seven Wonders of the World, Chen Chi Itza:

Located in the central and eastern part of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, it is also known as the Feathered Serpent City. From the 6th century BC to the Maya Classic period (from the 2nd century to the early 10th century), Chen Chi Itza was a major Maya city. There are hundreds of ancient buildings here, relics of the ancient Mayan and Toltec cultures.

The strangest of them all is the Pyramid of Castillo. Unlike the Egyptian pyramids, the Mayans used it to worship Quetzalcoatl. After the designer's exquisite calculation, when the dusk sun shines on the vernal/autumn equinox, the seven curved isosceles triangles perfectly link the engraved snake heads at the bottom, like a waking giant snake, swimming like the earth from the top of the tower. The entire light and shadow effect will last about 30 minutes.

The swimming pool of ancient emperors, sinkhole:

It is said that meteorites rained down on the Yucatan Peninsula, forming countless natural traces. After hundreds of years of geological evolution, the rock formations collapsed and formed a natural well. These natural wells and underground rivers are interconnected and provide an important source of water to the Guyama people.

There are steps at the bottom of the sinkhole. From above, it looks like an ordinary giant cave, but with a hole at the bottom. The water in the pool is green, clear, bright, comfortable and quiet! Remember to bring a swimsuit and a clean change of clothes, you can swim in the puddle~

Fancy diving, a diving paradise for everyone;

Due to its unique topography, cave structure, clear water The combination of water surface, dreamy light and shadow, Cancun can see the colorful underwater world, attracting a large number of diving enthusiasts to come and experience it. At the same time, the shallow coral reefs with moderate currents are also ideal for beginners of snorkeling and scuba diving.

Now, I mainly want to talk about some unique and fun diving places in Cancun that are suitable for beginners.

1) Xcaret Ecological Theme Park

I put Xcaret Park first because I think if I can only go to one Cancun park in a limited time, I will definitely You must choose Xcaret first! Before fancy, my sister went to Cancun, which is Xcaret~ Here, you can not only watch various wild animals that live in the park: jaguars, parrots, flamingos, visit Mayan ruins and the Mexican Folklore Museum, but also Experience various water sports: coral reef snorkeling, underground river swimming, artificial beach swimming, underwater walking, swimming with dolphins and more! There will be a Mexican-style performance in the evening, which is very exciting!

2) Musa Underwater Sculpture Museum

The Underwater Sculpture Museum is a powerful combination of artists and environmental science. The experience of exploring and visiting an underwater museum was still very new to me. With more than 500 life-size sculptures so far, MUSA is one of the most famous underwater sculpture museums in the world, and it also provides more habitat for the surrounding marine life.

If you want to enter the underwater museum, you must wear snorkeling gear. The museum will provide professional instructors to accompany you to explore this wonderful underwater world, witness this spectacular underwater sculpture, and meet cute fish.

If you want to explore more deeply and freely, you can also sign up for scuba diving classes. Even if you have zero basics in diving, as long as you are healthy and know a little about water, you can basically successfully master scuba diving skills under the guidance of a professional instructor.

3) Coral Reef Snorkeling Park

The Coral Reef Snorkeling Park is nestled in the embrace of the Caribbean Sea. There are a large number of intact coral groups, bringing rich marine life. No need to look for it, you can encounter a beautiful underwater world at any time. With the help of body waves, it floats gently on the edge of the coral jungle, surrounded by various naughty and cute fish and cute turtles. It can definitely bring you a perfect diving experience!

Girls’ fairy tales and dreams, ins hot pink lake flamingo skin care mud bath:

The news of the “fading” of Australia’s pink lake shocked the world, and also made Cancun’s pink lake even more fiery.

Pink Lake is pink because of the large amounts of red plankton, algae and shrimp in the water. The lake has a high salt content, so the average depth of the lake is about one foot. You can lie down directly on your back or take pictures with your head~ When the water evaporates, a large amount of salt and sand will accumulate on the pink lake.

No wonder pink lake and flamingo automatically come to mind when mentioning ins hot tags. This is also a famous local flamingo sanctuary. As the "long-legged supermodel" of the bird world, orange flamingos are naturally noble and have a strong aura, even when used as a background. They will not be shy to run away, you can capture their beauty to your heart's content~

At the same time, you can experience the pure natural mud of Maya in this area! The minerals in the mud can replenish, strengthen and balance the mineral composition of the skin. Mud can promote skin metabolism and quickly rejuvenate the skin. In addition to the first time, you can also experience playing in the mud and return to your childlike innocence, adding more fun to this trip.

Tip:

If you want to experience a mud bath, be sure to bring your swimsuit! There is a place to wash on the sidelines, so you don’t have to worry about dirty clothes and not being able to go home~

Isla Mujeres named after the Mayan statue:

Another place where grass is grown from 0755 to 79000. Isla Mujeres is a small island not far from Cancun. It is named after the many pottery statues of Mayan women discovered by the Spanish early on the island. It takes half an hour to get to Cancun by boat.

At that time, watching my sisters swim with dolphins was super exciting, and I must experience it when I think of going to Cancun.

A dolphin amusement park has been built on the island by the sea, where you can have close contact with dolphins! Touch, kiss, hug, and even swim with a dolphin's pectoral fins! The dolphins in the park have been professionally trained and are very docile and close to people. There is no need to be afraid at all. They will slowly approach you and give you a friendly "gift"~

In addition to Dolphin Bay Paradise, Isla Mujeres is one of the best snorkeling and diving sites in the Caribbean. There are many coral reefs near the coastline, home to many turtles and colorful tropical fish. The Coral Reef Snorkel Park, nestled in the embrace of the Caribbean Sea, is a great option for diving in Isla Mujeres.

If you are brave enough, you can also try the zip line in the garden! Jump from a height of nearly 100 feet, fly over cliffs and waves, feel the wind whistling in your ears, until you hug the sea level.

Recommended Cancun travel routes:

There are really too many special shows in Cancun, and they are irreplaceable. As you can see from the map, the points I mentioned earlier are scattered in different directions. Therefore, the most recommended way to travel is to drive by yourself or join a local one-day group according to your own preferences. If you stay in the hotel area of ??Cancun, basically free hotel pick-up and drop-off services are provided for day trips, which is very convenient! Below are the best-selling day tour products on Mafengwo, some of which also offer Chinese-speaking tour guides. For those friends who are worried about their English and unable to communicate normally, I still recommend them!

Cuba

"Life of Pi", catching crabs on the sea, the land of cigars

Friends who have watched the car race at the beginning should be very impressed! Those sequences were filmed in Havana, the capital of Cuba. It’s not unreasonable to choose Havana. It was an ancient Caribbean city forgotten by time. You can drive a colorful and unique classic car through the city, pick up a cigar, and look at images of Che Guevara everywhere. I felt as if I had entered a movie sequence.

Havana is divided into two parts: the old city and the new city. The old city is a treasure house of architectural art. The colonial square, churches, old buildings, American classic cars, and shed-colored wall paint are the most direct impression of the old city, and it is listed as a world cultural heritage. New Town is one of the famous modern cities in Latin America, adjacent to the Caribbean Sea. It has wide and clean streets, many high-rise buildings, and is full of modernity and prosperity.

Hemingway once lived in Cuba, and the rooms at the Ambos Mundos Hotel still look like they did at that time. As Hemingway said, "The windows offer a beautiful view of Havana's streets, and the room is just the right size, making it an ideal place to write." It is not difficult to imagine that in such a place facing the sea and blooming with spring flowers, the inspiration for artistic creation is just a little bit generated, sprouted and bloomed~

Go out to catch crabs in Badereau;

When people think of Cuba, they tend to think of colonization, revolution, and Che Guevara, but despite this heavy history, it is also an excellent vacation spot in the Caribbean. The most famous of these is Varadero's Sunny Beach.

The beach here is also a typical Caribbean blue. The fine white beach is very suitable for various water activities: jet skiing, kayaking, snorkeling, sea fishing, and catching crabs and lobsters at sea

Pata Marsh Adventure:

Pata Marsh is the largest and best-preserved wetland in the Caribbean.

There are a large number of Cuban crocodiles living here. Under the leadership of local Cuban ecologists, you can see newborn baby crocodiles and explore Cuba's ecology on the spot.

Trinidad World Heritage City:

Trinidad is a feast of color and a "living museum". This town has a history of more than 500 years. It is famous for its perfectly preserved Spanish colonial architecture, giving the illusion that time has stood still in the mid-19th century. In 1988, it was listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and is a popular destination when visiting Cuba.

Every evening, tourists from all over the world can often be seen gathering in the square in the city center. Different skin colors reflect the colorful street walls of Trinidad, listening to warm and smooth music, happy and leisurely.

White sand beaches, mountains and flowing water, reggae music festival

Is it the world-famous Blue Mountain Coffee, the magically glowing Blue Lagoon or the GoldenEye Estate, the birthplace of the 007 series of novels?

The entire mountain range is surrounded by the sea. When the sun shines on the ridges, it will reflect brilliant blue light, hence the name Blue Mountain! Not only is the scenery here pleasant, but the fertile volcanic soil and warm and humid tropical rainforest climate have created the world-famous Blue Mountain coffee, which has a rich and mellow taste with a perfect balance of sweet, bitter and sour. So when you come to Jamaica, you must experience the purest local Blue Mountain coffee. If you have the opportunity, you can also go to the coffee garden to observe the coffee making process and buy a few bags of coffee beans as gifts~

Indulge, Reggae Festival:

Jamaica is the hometown of reggae music, so it It’s also a place where fans of reggae music flock.

By then, many world-class reggae concerts will be held in Jamaica. You can learn how to dress up like the locals, experience the most authentic reggae music experience in the world, drink a bottle of local specialty red stripe beer, relax, blend in with the crowd, and sway to the rhythm.

Close to 007, GoldenEye Manor:

If you are a fan of the 007 series, you must have heard of GoldenEye Manor. This is the former residence of Bond novelist Ian Fleming, and the 007 series of novels was created here. It has now been transformed into a palatial boutique hotel, but still retains the writing desk and typewriter used by the author at the time.

Return to nature, the secret of Jamaica:

If someone asked me what is the difference between Jamaica and other Caribbean island countries, I would definitely answer that it is its green mountains and green waters. In addition to stepping on the soft white sand and accompanying the blue sky and white clouds on the seaside, you can also go boating on the Masibre River in Jamaica, watch the green landscape slowly recede, and listen to the boatman telling the legend of the Masibre River.

Do you still remember the dreamy blue fluorescent lake in Ang Lee's "Fast and Furious 8"? The lagoon in Jamaica can take you into a fantasy world in a second! The color gradually darkens, and the lake slowly lights up with blue light, as if you can reach out and catch blue stars!

I believe many experienced players have experienced riding horses, but you must not have experienced swimming in the Caribbean! Sitting on high horseback, stepping on the soft white sand, we walked towards the depths of the sea until the horse under us also dropped its feet.

Swim with horses in the vast Caribbean Sea, one person and one horse in the entire ocean, absolutely unique!

In addition to these, Jamaica also has the only coastal waterfall in the Caribbean, Dunn's River Falls, an ocean bay where dolphins, rays, sharks and other marine life can have close contact, mysterious mountains with dense jungles, and pure and delicious rum. Wine is waiting for tourists from all over the world to experience it.

There are nearly a hundred species of flying fish here, the small ones are as big as the palm of your hand, and the large ones are more than 2 meters long. As the "national fish", flying fish is very popular in the local area. Fishermen go to sea every day mainly to catch flying fish, and there is even a flying fish on the national emblem.

Flying fish cuisine is also a specialty of Barbados. Be sure to try it when you go there. It can be steamed or fried, and the meat is fresh and tender.

Rum is also a specialty of Barbados. It is brewed and distilled from sugar cane. It is also known as "pirate wine" and is said to be the favorite drink of pirates. ! Visitors to Barbados generally don’t pass up the opportunity to taste fine wine.

Every year from the last three weeks of June to the first weekend of July, the people of Barbados hold a very grand Sugar Cane Festival to celebrate the sugar cane harvest.

When the sugar cane harvest was completed and the last carriage loaded with sugar cane made its triumphant return, people rang the gong hanging under the big tree and began to celebrate the most grand annual Sugar Cane Festival. During this time, Bridgetown, the capital, was crowded with people and traffic was paralyzed. Many people meet and give each other lace or handkerchiefs to express holiday greetings. People dressed in festive costumes, formed different bands, sang and danced through the busiest neighborhoods.

Surrounded by sea on three sides, all kinds of water sports are crazy:

Barbados’ coastline is mainly distributed in the east, south and west. The southeastern coast is affected by the Atlantic trade winds, and the wind and waves are relatively large, making it very suitable for surfing. Many super European and American superstars often come here to surf, and maybe they can learn from each other~
