Caribe

Etymologically, “Caribe” (Caribbean) derives from the name given to the members of the indigenous peoples belonging to that linguistic family, who populated the majority of the islands of the Lesser Antilles and were practically exterminated with the arrival of the European conquistadors to the region.
The word is used to name the sea inlet of the Atlantic Ocean that bathes the coasts of the Antilles to the east and north, those of South America and Panama to the south, and those of Central America to the west.
The group of islands of the Antilles – that divide the Caribbean Sea from the Atlantic Ocean– is also called Caribbean. These islands are divided into two large groups: Greater Antilles and Lesser Antilles, which describe an arch from Puerto Rico to the northeastern coast of South America.
The Antilles’ total land area is some 235,700 square kilometers.
Our product precisely covers an important number of the countries that make up the Insular Caribbean, one of the regions preferred in the world as a tourist destination because of its pleasant tropical climate and the cultural wealth of its nations. The Caribbean’s landscapes stand out for their colors, as well as for their flora and fauna biodiversity.
In the region there is a variety of languages – such as Spanish, English, French, Dutch and Papiamento – and of creeds. Although the Catholic religion predominates, in some islands Protestantism and Hinduism is practiced and in others Santeria and voodoo. The region is the cradle of diverse musical rhythms such as reggae, ska, merengue, bachata, calypso, reggaeton, Cuban son, son montuno, cumbia, porro, vallenato, among others.
