Culture
Turks & Caicos were inhabited by Taino and Lucayan Indians, who left a rich heritage of seafaring, salt raking and farming that lingers to this day. "Turks" is a reference to the indigenous Turk's head cactus and Caicos is from the Lucayan term "caya hico" meaning string of islands.
Things to do
Known as one of the world's premier diving destinations, a visit to Turks & Caicos is the inspiration you need to try diving for the first time. If adrenaline is more your thing, race the waves on a wake board or sight-see from aboard a kayak. Shopping at big-name outlets is also a great pass time, or visit pirate caves and dream about buried treasures.

Average temperatures range between 29°C - 32°C June - October, cooling slightly November - May with average temperatures of 27°C - 29°C. Constant trade winds add refreshing touches to the climate, and in an average year Turks & Caicos enjoys 350 days of sunshine.
