Discover Caribbean
The Caribbean is more than 7,000 islands in the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. Jamaica, Cuba, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and the Bahamas each have their own culture. Beaches, warm water, and coral reefs are common. Reggae began in Jamaica, where Bob Marley lived, and calypso, steel drums, and salsa are played too.
Old colorful buildings show the colonial past. That history includes Indigenous peoples, colonization, slavery, and pirates. Festivals feature jerk chicken, seafood, and rice and beans. Rainforests, markets, fishing villages, and carnival fill the islands.
