Turks and Caicos is a group of islands in the Atlantic Ocean, located halfway between the Bahamas and Cuba, approximately 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) from Miami, Florida. Discovered by the Spanish in the 16th century, the islands historically served as a refuge for pirates and slave traders and later developed a thriving salt mining industry. Over the years, Britain, Spain, and France fought for control of the territory until it was officially recognized as a British colony in the mid-19th century. These prolonged struggles nearly wiped out the islands’ indigenous population—much like in many other Caribbean islands—but, miraculously, they left the landscape untouched. Today, Turks and Caicos remains a breathtaking tropical paradise, surrounded by crystal-clear blue waters.
