Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, has famous beaches and coral reefs off its coast, but it is also of great interest to the tourists who practice scuba diving and snorkeling.

It is located on the island of New Providence and you can access the nearby Paradise Island across the bridges in Nassau Bay.

In Nassau it is common to find cruise ships that have the charm of a Caribbean island where the sea is complemented by the mountainous landscape.

The colour palette of the Caribbean nations can be seen in many of its typical pastel-colored buildings in British colonial style, like the pink Government House.

It's a city of colonial houses, beautiful buildings in shades casinos, banks, boutiques and a port frequented by large cruise ships loaded with tourists.

The islands of Nassau and Paradise Island-Bahamas are less than two hours flight from the main capital cities of central and South America and there are already direct flights from any of these cities without having to make transfers in the United States.

Nassau has luxury hotels and boutiques, fun offers in exciting nightlife, world-class restaurants and all kinds of water sports that will make your stay a memorable experience.

At the same time, the gastronomy that harmoniously combines the British, Spanish and Caribbean flavours, to attest to the identity of the island's culinary scene, where the chefs have at their disposal the abundance of marine species to offer visitors the most tasty dishes in a gastronomic tour that includes different flavors.

In making a little history, it's worth remembering that Nassau's proximity to the sea routes made it a place chosen by pirates and buccaneers, who had that spot as a coat when they stole the intercepted gold shipments to the Spanish galleons.

A few meters from the port of Nassau is Arawak Cay, the leisure district on the beachfront, which is a popular place because you can taste the traditional gastronomy of the islands, like fried conch, lobster tail or shrimp and, of course, the local cocktails.

In Nassau the visitor can see a giant ship with all the details of a 17th century pirate ship, as well as the flags of the corsairs and their meaning, the cannons and other elements of the buccaneer ships, including guns with complicated engravings.

Also in the highest area of Nassau there is another attraction: the Bennet's Hill, which rises to Fort Fincastle that can be accessed climbing the 65 steep steps of the Queen's Ladder, an architectural work carved in limestone by the island's slaves in other times.
