The Bahamas has successfully promoted itself as a destination for US jetsetters, and a lot of it is Americanised. Yet there are still opportunities among its 700 islands and 2500 cays to disappear into a mangrove forest, explore a coral reef and escape the high-rise hotels and package-tour madness.
As the largest island of the Bahamas, Andros attracts fly fishermen and serious scuba divers. Andros' large pine forest is the habitat for the Bahamian parrot, white crowned pigeons, and other birds. Andros is also the home to numerous crabs and the Androsia Fabric factory.
