Less frequently visited than the east coast, the Caribbean’s west coast is more authentic, with its small, peaceful villages and landscapes of white sandy beaches, jungle, and mountains. It’s the perfect place for hiking, diving, and snorkeling enthusiasts and for those who prefer nature and tranquility to the hustle and bustle of the cities.
