Follow Jack Sparrow's footsteps through the Caribbean

Victoria King is a tourism student currently doing work placement at Gecko’s Adventures. She talks about the Caribbean.

We've all heard of Pirates of the Caribbean, and drooled over Johnny Depp as pirate Jack Sparrow. Now follow Jack’s footsteps through the Caribbean for an experience you will never forget. 

The entire area of the Caribbean Sea, the numerous islands of the West Indies, and neighboring coasts, are collectively known as the Caribbean.

Cuba
To make the most of your Cuban experience see famous sights such as Pilar beach, Old Havana, Playa Paraiso Beach, Partagas Cigar Factory, Vinales Valley, National Museum of Beautiful Arts of Cuba and the San Pedro de la Roca del Morro Castle. Experience real Cuban culture through its music and maybe even learn to dance.

Panama
Panama will not disappoint. Some will say it has the planets' most nature-rich, accessible rainforests, spectacularly beautiful mountains and highlands, historical sites, seven living cultures and a cosmopolitan capital city with a non-stop nightlife (Panama City).

Costa Rica
Delve into the culture of Costa Rica. Taste a variety of dishes where fresh ingredients are always the star. For a special insight into local culture and traditions, don’t miss one of the lively festivals which are held year-round. Be part of an exciting celebration, the Farmers Market, known in Costa Rica as the Feria, a celebrated Costa-Rican tradition.

Honduras
Travelling to Honduras you will be sure to see clear turquoise water, pristine beaches, lush jungles, breathtaking mountains, challenging rivers and fascinating ancient ruins. Try the most universally available food throughout Honduras, Honduran Baleadas. The Baleada is a tortilla made of wheat flour, that is filled with refried beans, which is then topped with either mantequilla (a white heavy cream), or grated Honduran white cheese.
