The risk of traveling to every country in the Caribbean, according to the US State Department

The US State Department’s public travel advisories let Americans know what countries are safe to travel to and which ones they should be wary of.

With at least six Americans reported dead in the Dominican Republic this year, it’s worth checking these alerts before going on your next Caribbean vacation.

The State Department uses four levels of travel guidance to let Americans know what to expect in each country:

Level 1 – Exercise normal precautions

Level 2 – Exercise increased caution

Level 3 – Reconsider travel

Level 4 – Do not travel

Fourteen countries around the world are designated “do not travel,” mostly because of ongoing armed conflicts. In the Caribbean, Haiti, Venezuela, and parts of Colombia are designated Level 4.

Here are the travel advisories for every country in the Caribbean, ranked from least to most risky based on the State Department’s designation levels.
