GEOGRAPHY
The
island sits more or less in the center of the Caribbean Islands –
with the Turks and Caicos
and the Bahamas to the North, Cuba and Jamaica to the west, Puerto Rico
and the Leeward Islands to the east, and South America to the south.
The north coast
gives way to the Atlantic Ocean and
the south coast gives way to the
Caribbean Sea.
WEATHER
The
majority of the island enjoys beautiful tropical weather
all year round, with the average annual temperature hovering around
25°C (77°F). Some call the island's climate, 'the endless
summer', due to warm and sunny conditions experienced pretty much
everywhere in the country, all year round.
Steer a small boat through endless
mangrove forests in search of gentle manatees. Spy on lovesick humpback
whales in the Bahía. And once you've had your fill of this
exquisite island's natural wonder, get back to civilization and prepare
to party.
The
white-sand beaches, impressive mountain ranges veined with spectacular
rivers and waterfalls, and saltwater lakes teeming with exotic wildlife
are just part of this island's appeal. Whether you're
looking to party, relax or explore, the Caribbean has a lot to
offer.
