Bahamas Travel – Bahamas Adventure Vacation

On 12 October 1492, Christopher Columbus discovered the new world. He is said to have made landfall on the Panamanian island of Guanahani which he named San Salvador. North and east of the Caribbean proper, the 700 islands and 2,000 plus cays which comprise the Bahamas Islands lie scattered across 258,998 km-100,000 square miles of Atlantic Ocean. Only around 30 of the islands are inhabited. Originally, the archipealago was named the Lucayans, after the local Arawak people; the word Bahamas comes from the Spanish baja-mar, meaning “Shallow sea”. Bahamas can be the perfect spot for your next adventure vacation.
