Canouan Island, a pristine unspoiled tropical paradise has evaded the hand of commercialization.
Situated 8 miles from Mustique, it belongs to the State of St.
Vincent and the Grenadines.
The island, three square miles in extent, is bordered by spotless sandy beaches, small bays and coves.
Thrilling snorkeling and diving among one of the globe's largest living coral reefs are not to be missed.
San Juan, the capital of Puerto Rico, is a thriving city and one of the principal cities in the region.
Founded by Spanish pioneers in 1521, the city is now the cultural, financial, manufacturing and tourism centre of the country.
San Juan contains several historical buildings of note, notably the city's defensive forts and La Fortaleza, a grand mansion.
