Caribs Leap, Grenada
Caribs Leap at the North end of the island of Grenada is the location of one of the most remarkable and desperately sad events in American history. In 1651, the last remaining Caribs on the island jumped from the cliff to their deaths on the rocks below rather than surrender to the French. This collective suicide of men, women and children marked the extinction of Carib culture on the island.

| Welcome to a brief travel guide to selected parts of America. |
| In this blog I aim to share practical information - things to do, places to go, where to stay, etc - that may be helpful for people contemplating a trip to this region. |
| This travel guide is selective - it is based on the experiences of myself and other contributors to this site. Therefore established guides such as Lonely Planet, Rough Guide, Moon and Footprint are much more comprehensive sources of information. Anyone planning a trip to America should invest in one of these publications. |
| However, if you are traveling to a place referred to in the Travelogues or Reflections blogs, then this blog contains background information that may help you. |
