Caribbean Waterfalls - Jamaica, St Lucia

View Larger Map

The Caribbean consists of a cluster of islands within the Gulf of Mexico surrounded by the United States to the north, Mexico to the west, South America to the south, and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. For many people, this is a great place to unwind and get away from home (especially to escape the cold Winters) as the region offers sandy beaches, mountains, Caribbean charm of its people and towns, posh all-inclusive resorts, and of course waterfalls!

Many of the waterfalls in these islands provide perfect excuses to cool off for a swim beneath them or for quality time spent away from the resorts and back into Nature. Their invigorating qualities complement all the amenities and food you're likely to have to round out your time in the tropics.

So far, we only have a humble sampling of waterfalls though we're hopeful to experience more waterfalls with continued visits to more Caribbean islands...

Of course the island's Caribbean charm, multi-cultural influences, and resorts make this a place a hit with holiday makers.
