Indigenous culture, which island is best ?
Yes, I realize tht this term can have many meanings, so maybe I should explain what I am looking for. In November, my husband and I are planning to take a trip with our toddler, and i am expecting our second baby. We'd like a short flight from the eastern US to a malaria free region with lots of culture and nature. We're well travelled but usually travel very far from home. We're lost as to where to go close to home! Central and South America are out because of malaria, Nova Scotia and remote Canada will be too cold in November, Europe is a bit too far. Perhaps a small, quiet, Caribbean island that has some local culture? Any thoughts? Your advice is greatly appreciated. THANKS!!1
Probably the island with the richest culture would be Jamaica so you may want to consider going there if that's one of the leading factors in making your decision. You could also consider the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico ... I'm thinking primarily Mayan when I'm thinking culture in that case, not the mega resorts in Cancun. Trinidad also rates high from a cultural perspective.
