Welcome to Caribex.
If this is your first time here, this page will help you understand what Caribex is about and where to begin.
Caribex is an independent editorial project focused on the Caribbean as a region of different rhythms, experiences, and ways of traveling — not a single, interchangeable destination.
This is not a guide built on lists or trends.
It is a space for context, comparison, and thoughtful travel decisions.
