Kaieteur Falls, Guyana
Kaieteur National Park is situated on the Guiana Shield, a plateau that
is one of the world's oldest and remotest geological formations. The
entire Kaieteur National Park area is located within one of the largest
and most biodiverse rainforests in the world.

Kaieteur Falls is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world.
It has a free fall height of more than 700 feet, making it about five
times taller than Niagara Falls It is one of the few places in the world
where endangered species are easily observed. Specially designed
on-site nature walks place you face-to-face with the many and varied
exotic plant and animal species. Kaieteur can be admired close-up or
filmed at varying distances and from numerous camera angles; aerial
views of the Falls are truly spectacular.

The Pitons, St Lucia
St Lucia possesses a topography and ecology of stunning beauty, matched
by no other location in the Caribbean. The island's pride in its natural
resources is evident in the country's ongoing protection and
conservation efforts. 
In the mountainous interior lies the enormous
National Rain Forest and the island's protected coastal sights include
the breathtaking, unforgettable spires of Les Pitons. Located near
Soufriere, these primeval twin peaks, topping 2,000 feet, are St Lucia's
most famous landmark. Only the most daring climbers have attempted an
ascent on their summits, but they can be seen in all their glory from Mt
Gimie or from the decks of a boat offshore.

Now dormant, the Sulphur Springs is the world's only drive-in volcano. A
tour of its bubbly, steamy sulphur springs offers a direct and
fascinating lesson in the violent geology of the Caribbean Rim.

The Pitch Lake, Trinidad
The Pitch Lake or Asphalt Lake of Trinidad and Tobago is situated in the
southwest peninsula of the island of Trinidad. It has fascinated
explorers, scientists and the common folk since its discovery by Sir
Walter Raleigh in 1595. Raleigh himself found immediate use for the
asphalt to caulk his ship. Since then, there have been numerous research
investigations into the use and chemical composition of this material.
Above all, there have been countless theories, postulations and
conclusions as to the size, source and origin of the asphalt. The
Asphalt Lake is at present an oval, lake-like outcrop composed of an
oil, clay and water (mud) mixture. The asphalt from the Lake is of
economic value to Trinidad and Tobago. Some 10 million tons have been
mined since mining started in 1867. The refined product is used in the
manufacturing and road surfacing industries.

Harrison Cave, Barbados
Although historical references were made to Harrison's Cave from as
early as the 18th century, no serious exploration of the cave was
carried out until 1970, when speleologist, Ole Sorensen, was
commissioned by the Barbados National Trust to make a survey and map the
cave. Sorensen immediately recognised the potential of the cave and
recommended that it be landscaped and developed. Four years later, work
on the cave began, drawing on scientific, artistic, technological and
geological resources.

The work involved digging tunnels, improving lighting and diverting of
underground streams. A unique phenomenon of nature, Harrison's Cave is
an amazing gallery of stalactites hanging from the roof of the cave, and
stalagmites that emerge from the ground, with streams of crystal-clear
running water that drop from breathtaking waterfalls to form deep
emerald pools. The stalactites and stalagmites were formed over
thousands of years and in some places the stalactites have reached down
to the stalagmites and a spectacular pillar has been formed.

Stingray City, Grand Cayman
Located in the shallow waters of the northwest corner of Grand Cayman's
North Sound, the waters are filled with "friendly" stingrays, that can
be fed by hand You'll find this anomaly just inside a natural channel
that passes through the barrier, it consists of a string of sand bars
that cross the North Sound from Morgan Harbour to Rum Point.
Local legend has it that the stingrays began gathering in the area
decades ago when fisherman would return from an excursion and go behind a
reef into the sound and clean their fish in the calm water of the
shallows and sand bar area. The fish guts were simply thrown overboard
and the stingrays eventually congregated to feast on the discarded guts.
Soon the stingrays began to associate the sound of a boat with a free
meal.
As this practice turned into a tradition, local divers realised that the
stingrays could be fed by hand. There are three ways to experience
these bottom-dwelling, prehistoric-looking creatures that feed primarily
on molluscs and crustaceans and each involves a short boat ride to the
sandbar area at the North Sound. Divers or snorkelers who dare to get
into the water experience an adrenaline rush as the stingrays rub
against you with their bodies and "wings".

The most popular is a snorkelling trip, which has been called the best
snorkeling experience in the world. This trip normally occurs in the
heart of the sandbar where the water is only three to five-feet deep.

The second way to experience Stingray City is as a scuba diver. Dive
groups consist of 10 to 20 divers, wearing no fins as they may hurt the
congregating stingrays. The divers are over-weighted, which keeps them
on the bottom and the dive master swims from diver to diver dispersing
diced squid and fish pieces. Stingrays quickly surround the divers.
The third way to experience Stingray City is via a glass bottom boat,
which is a good alternative if the weather is too windy for snorkeling.
