Tallest Mountains in the Caribbean
While many travelers head to the Caribbean for its white-sand beaches, the islands also hold some of the most impressive vertical landscapes in the Atlantic. The Greater Antilles, in particular, feature rugged interior ranges with summits that far exceed the height of any peak in the Eastern United States. From the misty heights of Jamaica’s coffee country to the massive giants of the Dominican Republic, these mountains offer a completely different perspective of island life.
