Advisor - Discover Turks and Caicos: Providenciales
Curator’s statement

Turks and Caicos is a tropical paradise that offers a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. This is one of my top vacation destinations due to pristine white-sand beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters and vibrant marine life. There is truly something for everyone. Spending the morning walking a pot-cake puppy, grabbing lunch at Julien’s Deli and then embarking on a half-day snorkeling tour with Caicos Island Charters. The perfect day does exist.
