At 45km long, Grand Cayman is the largest of the Cayman Islands, lying between Cuba and Jamaica. Its warm climate, low rainfall and tranquil waters make it an ideal destination for sun-seekers and divers. The islanders display an ever-growing respect for their beautiful environment and there are several nature reserves and maritime parks. The flora and fauna of the Cayman Islands are surprisingly diverse and include the spectacular Cayman blue iguana.

The island capital of Grand Cayman is George Town, named after Fort George, built in 1700 and whose history is described in the Cayman Islands National Museum, housed in the city’s oldest building. Much of the island’s social life revolves around ‘seven-mile beach’ which stretches around West Bay. On the northwest of the island lies the town and beaches of Hell, whose name was originally inspired by the black rock formations found in the area. Nearby is the unique Cayman Turtle Farm where the endangered green sea turtles are the star inhabitants. Also worth visiting is the Queen Elizabeth II Botanical Park where iguanas, orchids, parrots and hundreds of other species of plants and animal-life can be spotted among the lush undergrowth.

Discover sleepy Roatán, Honduras, one of the New York Times top 30 travel destinations. Visitors are drawn to the lush vegetation and gorgeous beaches including Flowers Bay, French Harbour and Brick Bay, as well as the splendid and world-famous West Bay Beach. The waters around the island are simply spectacular. The sea is teeming with tropical fish, and various species of coral and sponges. Tropical groupers can be encountered by divers in the area known as Peter's Place.

Roatán is the largest of the Islas de la Bahia, an archipelago that also includes the islands of Guanaja and Utila and is the continuation of the Belize Barrier Reef. The long, narrow island of Roatán is around 50 km in length, although its maximum width is just 5 km, making it possible to see both the island's northern and southern coasts in some spots.

Known for breathtaking scuba diving, snorkeling and fishing, Roatán is surrounded by a living coral reef that contains an incredible variety of species of coral and sponges as well as seahorses, queen angel fish, blue tangs, stoplight parrot fish, and many other tropical fish. The reef slopes gently from shore before dropping off steeply, thus providing excellent snorkeling and diving from nearly anywhere on the island.

The island of Cozumel is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, attracting an estimated 20 million people a year keen to enjoy its unique mix of glorious beaches, superb diving and ancient archaeological sites. The town of Cozumel is the perfect place to relax in the tropical sun and the perfect gateway to the island’s ancient treasures.

The first evidence of civilization on Cozumel dates back to the Mayans of 300 BC. Cozumel’s importance to Mayan society came from its vantage point as a port and from its apparent powers of fertility. Mayan women would travel to the island in the hope that the special properties of the area would furnish their children with good health and good luck. It is possible today to see the excavated ruins of San Gervasio, a holy Mayan monument, originally a temple built to honor Ixchel, the Mayan god of medicine, love and fertility.
