A propos de l'auteur :

Ryan Ver Berkmoes grew up in the beach town of Santa Cruz, California, and always feels at home with a little sand lodged in the cracks between his toes. He's written about beaches worldwide but still can never get over the stunningly turquoise Caribbean and the blindingly white beaches. It's a cliché, yes, but it's often remarkably spot on. As a journalist who has covered stories worldwide and experienced a lot of cultures, Ryan is still surprised at the diversity of people and places within the Caribbean. Jean-Bernard Carillet is a die-hard island lover, diving instructor and calypso dance aficionado. He has clocked up numerous trips to the Caribbean. In St Lucia he searched for the perfect beaches, the best dive sites, the most thrilling adventure tours, the best value accommodations and the most memorable views of the Pitons. Jean-Bernard has contributed to many Lonely Planet titles, in French and English, and coordinated Lonely Planet diving guides. He also writes for travel and dive magazines. Sounds of the Caribbean Nate Cavalieri's favorite experiences on this research trip included scanning the waters for manatee from the lighthouse at Cabo Rojo and sharing a Medalla with an on-duty cop at a beach bonfire in Rincon. He's authored Lonely Planet guides on California. the US and Latin Amer-` ica, as well as covering Puerto Rico. He gets a bit of the island every day in his neighborhood, Brooklyn, New York. Sometime molecular biologist, tour leader and now travel writer, Paul Clammer would like to think that Haiti first came to his attention from reading Graham Greene's The Comedians, but secretly wonders if childhood viewings of Live and Let Die didn't also play their part. In the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake, Paul volunteered clearing rubble in Léogâne, before returning to research for this guide-book.
