Everyone imagines beautiful landscapes, idyllic scenery, and picturesque postcard settings. All this holds true, but to say the word Caribbean and then think of it as a homogeneous island group is untrue. Though the Caribbean nations are surrounded by the same body of water, not even what is in the water is the same.  What mysteriously swims in the deep canyons offshore differs from the Damselfish that graze among the corral reefs. Meanwhile, one island can be completely flat while another rises 2,000 feet high. The former growing from corral reefs while the latter surging from volcanic eruptions from the ocean floor. Much less are the islands inhabitants similar because many people speak a different language, for example, English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Native Indian or Arabic. Moreover the political ideologies range from Cuba's communist state, Barbados' parliamentary system, to even the Puerto Ricans disagreeing among themselves as to whether to become an independent nation, remain a territory of the United States, or join as the fifty-first state of the union.  Colonization too shaped differently the history of numerous islands while dire poverty continues to severely limit the aspirations of the beautiful Haitians. Therefore, it is better to think of the Caribbean as an island chain with a spectacular assortment of beads rather than all the same beads.

The Caribbean Cultural Center was founded to offer visitors an enchanting taste of different tropical cultures all in one place, all in one visit. Remoteness and location are no longer a barrier. All the villages are so close to one another, you simply walk or ride a short distance to experience another island culture. Isn't it great, no jet lag, no boarding and disembarking, no passport, and no airsickness or seasickness.

The twelve Caribbean villages represent twelve major islands or island chains. Our docents will take you around the Caribbean in order that you can experience what Columbus referred to as the West Indies or the New World. Beginning with the Cayman Islands, our fishing village depicts a wealth of maritime history. Our British Barbados village is home to the Sunbury Plantation house which is set in the midst of sugar cane field. Our Cuban docents will tell you not only what's it's like  to smoke a Cuban cigar but also what a proud people they are.  Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory, is the home of Barracadi rum, Fort Morro, the world's largest electronic radio dish, and El Junca tropical rain forest, but here at the village we created a coffee plantation and an Arawak settlement. The Trinidadian village is situated within a huge enclosed aviary which is home to all the beautiful birds in the Caribbean. There is a Dutch colonial establishment at he Aruban Village. The Jamaican village depicts the history of slavery prevalent in Caribbean history. The beautiful Leeward island village encompasses a natural botanical garden. Come aboard pirate ships that are representative of the Virgin Islands and experience the legacy of piracy in these tropical seas. Enter a Hispaniola fort that depicts the colonial period. And visit a working pineapple and banana plantation of the French Antilles. At the Windward Village, you'll encounter Carib Indians for whom the Caribbean is named. In short, Each Caribbean islands village affords you, our guest, the wonderful opportunity to experience people, music, cuisine and all its culture without having to visit all the hundreds of islands that comprise thousand of miles in the vast Caribbean.
