Long before “the Caribbean” conjured visions of barefoot luxury and turquoise calm, its waters were a stage of chaos and charisma. In the 17th and 18th centuries, these routes teemed with sails and secrets, pirates, privateers, and dreamers tracing lines of daring and ambiguity across islands now known as paradise. From Port Royal in Jamaica, once dubbed “the wickedest city in the world,” to hidden coves in Tortuga, Barbados and Saint Vincent, the Caribbean was a cradle of re

In Latin America and the Caribbean, Christmas is not simply a holiday marked on a calendar. It is a season that unfolds slowly, carried by faith, memory, and music. Streets glow with soft lights, homes open their doors without invitation, and the air itself seems to thrum with anticipation.

As October exhales its final warmth and November rises with the hush of incense and candlelight, Latin America prepares this week-end for one of its most profound rituals: Día de Muertos, the Day of the Dead. But the name deceives: there is no mourning here… There is music, there is laughter, there is remembrance dressed in color. It is not death that is celebrated, it is love that refuses to fade. Across Mexico and beyond, the air thickens with marigold and memory. Orange pe

It is a moment of reflection on the encounter that forever transformed the Americas.   The arrival of the Spanish marked more than a geographic discovery, it was the beginning of a cultural symphony. When European explorers met the advanced civilizations of the Maya, the Aztec, and the In
