Manaca Travel - Travel with a conscience

Destination: Caribbean

With a sea that mirrors an unbelievable blue sky and tropical colors at every corner, it’s easy to ease into an island life. Wake and be lulled to sleep to the crashing surf of the Caribbean Ocean around you.

However, there is much more to the Caribbean islands than its beaches. Rich in natural beauty—yes, the coffee plantations tucked into the mountainside, the frothy waterfalls and lagoon pools, and cobblestone town plazas—but, this chain of islands has history and culture to match. The outside influences—from Europe to Africa, created a fusion of cultures. Music, art, and dance hold strong here. And they have mixed nicely with an environmental outlook that makes travel even more exciting.
