Product Info Reviews

Description:

The question most asked about Caribbean travel is: which island? The Caribbean, by National Geographic Traveler, helps answer that question and most others as well. Packed with all the great photography one expects from National Geographic, it also offers the cultural details and perspective of a history book, plus relevant logistical information on hotels, restaurants, and activities. How rare to get both the "big picture" (so to speak) and essential small stuff, such as the fact that gas stations on St. Barts are closed on Sunday. The island maps are crisp and beautifully detailed, and some highlight driving and walking tours. Essays are sprinkled throughout, covering topics such as Caribbean cruising, coral reefs, and cricket. The book profiles each island by region, providing an excellent overview both for first-time visitors and travelers who want to explore beyond the resort beaches. --Cynthia Penney
