The Bahamas CGG3O1 - Nero

History…..well pre-history  Documented Bahamian history begins with the words, "Baja Mar“ (shallow sea), the name the Spanish bestowed on the islands.  The name is misleading as the Bahamas are known for their mountainous terrain.  The first people’s of the Bahamas arrived from South American  Columbus mistakenly referred to the locals as Indians after his landing in the late 1400’s.

History  British influence and control in the area led to a high number of pirates entering the area. This ushered in what is known as the “Golden Age of Piracy”.  This actually made the islands more wealthy in the 1700’s.  Great Britain granted the islands self- government in 1964 and changed their status from colony to Commonwealth in 1969.

Things to Do…  With calm, turquoise waters and soft, powdery sand, it’s no surprise when our beaches are recognized as some of the best in the world.  Perhaps the most famous is Treasure Cay Beach in The Abacos. It was recently voted as one of the best in the region by Caribbean Travel & Life.  Whether inland or submerged in the sea, the incredible blue holes of The Bahamas offer a truly unique dive experience.  The greatest concentration of blue holes is found inland and in the shallows of Andros Island, where more than 50 blue holes have been recorded

Things to Do…  The Abacos are a bird-watcher’s paradise and one of the few places in The Bahamas where you can find the endangered green Abaco or "Bahama" parrot, mainly in South Abaco near Hole- In-The-Wall.  A subspecies of the Cuban Amazon parrot, they are known to be the only species of parrot throughout the Caribbean that nests in the ground.

Things to Do…  We offer adventure tours, historical tours and cultural tours in scenic towns on the Eleuthera coast and in Harbour Island and Spanish Wells, including a look inside the magnificent Preacher's Cave.

Things to Do…  Ecotourism is so important here that each year the community dedicates the entire month of October to pay homage to the natural environment.  Andros is the ecotourism destination of The Bahamas because of its large pristine, terrestrial and marine ecosystems.
