WHITE SAND UTOPIAS & BEGUILING HISTORY
You’ve learned to prepare a three-course Mexican
meal in Cozumel… Explored the ruins of a Mayan city
in Belize… Become an expert in jungle flora on a
guided eco-hike in Guatemala. You even learned to
dance the merengue in the Dominican Republic. Now
here, a glistening strip of pristine beach somewhere
in Antigua, your heart and mind feel a bliss as real
as the sand between your toes. You gaze upon
the horizon with a carefree mind, civilization’s
worries and concerns shed like a pair of dime store
sandals — lost in tropical tranquility — the essence
of the Caribbean.
Serendipitous opportunities arise to leave your
cares behind, like spotting the wonders beneath
the surface of Barbados at Harrison’s Cave,
exploring the UNESCO World Heritage-designated
Colonial Zone of Santo Domingo La Romana,
people-watching in Cabo San Lucas, browsing the
boutiques and art galleries of Old San Juan, passing
through a certain canal, and more.
