Caicos Islands

People of Turks and Caicos Islands : the dominant population in the island belongs to people of African origin, whose ancestors were brought to slave in the islands' many cotton plantations and salt ponds. This group is called the 'Belongers'. Apart from them, there are several expatriates from the neighboring archipelagos of Haiti, Bahamas and Dominica. There are also people of America, Britain, Canada and other parts of Europe living in harmony with the Belongers.


Flora and Fauna of Turks and Caicos Islands : the Turks and Caicos Islands do not have a very exotic list of flora and fauns to boast of. The richness found in their natural surroundings is restricted to the water bodies that surround it. However, they are not devoid of plant and animal life either. Their flora consists of most varieties that are considered to be typically tropical. So, you will find plenty of palms. There are several species of exotic flowers, like the orchid, for instance, to be scattered over the island. Yet, it is for their marine life that the Turks and Caicos Islands are most famous. It has mesmerizing expanses of coral reefs all around it. Various types of fishes and other marine animals can be sighted as they use the waters around the islands as a migratory transit. So, some of the species to look out for are the manta rays, turtles, humpback whales, dolphins and spotted eagle rays.


Climate of Turks and Caicos Islands : temperature variations in the Turks and Caicos Islands are never drastic. What's more, the regular sweep of the easterly trade-winds helps in maintaining this balance. However, the general tendency of the weather in the Turks and Caicos Islands is to stay on the warmer side. The peak of summer is between September and October, while the winter peaks in the months of December, January and February.

13 REASONS TO GO TO SCOTLAND

Scotland is a paradise for those who want to test their strength. A seemingly innocuous hill can easily turn out to be an impregnable summit, a summer walk to become an Arctic expedition, and crossing a tiny river turn into an unexpected rafting. But stunningly beautiful views, traces of ancient history at every turn, and a sexy Scottish accent redeem everything. 1. Sunbathe on the most secluded beach in Europe . "Azure Sea", "white sand" and other Caribbean-Maldivian stamps are difficult to apply to Scotland. Unless, of course, we are not talking about the beaches of Harris Island. To get to them is not easy - by plane from Glasgow or Inverness or by ferry to Stornoway, and then another hour and a half by car along serpentines and landscapes resembling the moon. But then your only neighbors will be wild ponies and dolphins. 2. Spend the night in a lunatic asylum The Scots are famous for their eccentricity and lightweight "gravest" humor - n...

SOUTHERN CORSICA

SOUTHERN CORSICA: THE STRENGTH AND BEAUTY OF A LAND OF CHARACTER From Ajaccio to Bonifacio, the south of the island is distinguished by riches, authenticity, and a strong personality travelling through this very mixed landscape is an adventure as much as it is a journey. ‘On Corsica, I was given life', said Napoleon Bonaparte, who was born in Ajaccio. Nature has endowed Southern Corsica with sumptuous landscapes, where mountains, cliffs, idyllic beaches, and reddish creeks compete for favour. It is a magical place, where the smells, colours, and tastes remain anchored in the memory of travellers. Allow yourself to be imbued with Corsica by closing your eyes and letting the distinctive smell of the maquis overtake you; let your eyes get lost in the blue of the bay of Porto-Vecchio or the Lavezzi islands; hear men sing of love in a small picturesque village church in Sartene. The island offers a multitude of activities to discover and desires to be met. The sporty may div...
