Winter Travel in the Caribbean

By admin | October 23, 2009

While travelers on a budget will still find plenty of holiday excitement during the first part of the month, those that visit the Caribbean during the Christmas and New Year’s weeks will find a greater assortment of activities and special events. For instance, the islands of Aruba and Curacao celebrate the holiday season in true Dutch fashion with regular appearances by Sinterklaas and special events that fuse modern holiday customs, centuries-old European traditions and a touch of Caribbean flair. Furthermore, those hoping to attend Christmas mass or other holiday services will find plenty of options throughout the region.

Visitors to the Caribbean during the later weeks of January will find the excitement of high tourism season in full-swing, but the focus on recreation and relaxation allows all types of travelers to recuperate after the bustling holiday season. Though it is easy to kick back and enjoy the scenery during the month of January, the end of the month marks the beginning of the region’s famous Carnival celebrations, most notably in destinations such as Aruba, Curacao and St. Kitts. Those visiting the Caribbean during the month of January will also find a wide variety of music festivals and other cultural events that add to the excitement of the season.
