Travel to Turks and Caicos
ATTRACTIONS: (a few major)
Eight of the islands are inhabited and their diversity offers unique experiences to fit any travelers' vacation plans. Many visitors make return trips on a regular basis.
With the white beaches, sparkling clear blue water, secluded bays and islands, historic towns and villages, diving, fishing -- the reputation of "beautiful by nature" is an apt description of this idyllic destination.
Don't miss the flamingo pond in North Caicos or the cave network (largest in the Carribean) on Middle Caicos. And most of all, enjoy the lush woodlands and the welcoming and friendly residents.
