Barbados
Barbados is a coral island, pushed out of sea by volcanic activity in a
far away time. On the West Coast of Barbados, coral shore
beaches of fine white sand stretch along a blue-green sea. Coral
reefs fringe the Barbados shoreline to provide excellent
snorkelling and Scuba Diving. The constant breeze of the trade
winds gives Barbados a mild and pleasant tropical climate, in
which to enjoy world class golf courses and many other
attractions. Geologically Barbados is unique, being actually two land masses that
merged together over the years. This and other anomalies make
this Caribbean Island quite phenomenal, and there are geological
structures that you will find only in Barbados. Barbadians, called Bajans, are warm and friendly souls, always ready to
greet you with a sincere smile. Barbadians make you feel welcome
and special, in this lovely Caribbean Island. You will feel its
your home and will want to come back again and again to
Barbados. A unique Caribbean paradise, surprisingly
sophisticated, friendly, fun and always Naturally Charming! Passports
should have at least 6 months validity and visitors should check
the visa requirements from the Barbados Consulate in their
respective countries.
