📣 Traveler notes
The Bahamas is an archipelago nation in the Atlantic Ocean off the east coast of Florida, comprising about 3,000 islands and cays. Nassau, on New Providence island, is the capital and houses roughly half of the population. The destination is known for its tropical beauty, unique culture, and natural appeal.
- Junkanoo, a large street carnival, takes place around Boxing Day (Dec 26) and New Year's Day (Jan 1).
- Carnival groups 'rush' through the streets, particularly in Nassau.
- Participants use elaborate, single-use costumes made of crepe paper.
- The distinct Junkanoo music blends African rhythms with brass and cowbells.
- The disposable costumes can serve as unique souvenirs.
- Bahamian culture values respect and good nature.
