Highlights
- Antigua - Traveling from the pier, you will pass through one attractive village after another as you make your way to a private home with a great history. As you approach the property, you’ll begin to hear about the land and its story. Before long, you’ll find yourself on top of a panoramic vista that overlooks a valley dotted with a landscape of grazing cows and sheep. While the home may look modest from the exterior, you’ll be astounded once inside. Artifacts from the original settlers who bought the land in the 16th century surround you. The owner, who is also a direct descendant of the original family, will graciously walk you through the areas of her home that are open to you and answer questions about her prized collections. Endemic trees and medicinal herbs are grown in the backyard, and not only will your guide provide knowledge on the healing powers of these plants, but you will also enjoy a freshly brewed cup of herbal tea. There is no doubt that people of every age will be entranced

Additional Information
St. John’s is the capital and largest city of Antigua and Barbuda, a country located in the West Indies in the Caribbean Sea; it is the nation’s commercial center and the chief port of the island of Antigua. As you approach St. John’s, the skyline is dominated by the magnificently evocative white baroque towers of St. John’s Cathedral. Built in 1845, the church is now in its third incarnation, as earthquakes in 1683 and 1745 destroyed the previous structures.
