In 1503, Christopher Columbus came upon a group of islands in what today is known as the Caribbean Sea. The Arawak-Taino people who lived there called the atolls “caiman” (crocodile) because of the many semiaquatic reptiles with which they shared the location.
I recently followed Chris to what are now named the Cayman Islands. I left understanding that, along with typical sun, sand, and surf attractions; a list of alluring activities; and an intriguing history, those atolls also present a wide choice of enticing things to see and do.
