The British Virgin Islands are among the most visually stunning in the entire Caribbean chain. From Sage Mountain on Tortola to the unspoiled beauty of Anegada and the granite boulders of Virgin Gorda, what defines the BVI is its laid back natural charm and its sheltered sailing waters. more
The climate of the region is tropical but rainfall varies with elevation, many of the islands are mountainous with extinct or semi extinct volcanoes, rainforests and green valleys where sugar cane used to grow, while others are less mountainous and consequently drier and less fertile.
The Virgin Islands form the eastern island group of the Leeward Islands, which are the northern part of the Lesser Antilles, which together form the border between the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.
Traveling south, the next island group includes Saba, Statia (St. Eustatius), St.Kitts (St. Christopher), Nevis, and Montserrat. These are the younger, more volcanic and steeply mountainous islands; they lie in a northwest to southeast orientation. Each has a distinctive culture and most have attractive historic towns. Montserrat has become famous for its still active volcano. here
