Welcome to St.
Lucia
The Caribbean’s small, lush, tropical
gem.
St. Lucia is the sort of island that travelers to the Caribbean
dream about—a small, lush tropical gem that is still
relatively unknown.
In natural beauty, St. Lucia seems like an island plucked
from the South Pacific and tucked into the Caribbean. Its
dramatic twin coastal peaks, the Pitons, soar 2,000 feet above
the sea, sheltering magnificent rain forests where wild orchids,
giant ferns and birds of paradise flourish.
St. Lucia has been inhabited since long before colonial times,
and its cultural treasures are a fascinating combination of
its rich past and traditions.
The island's people have earned a well-deserved reputation
for their warmth and charm, and St. Lucia itself is dotted
with fortresses, small villages and open-air markets.
There’s a rich array of exciting and exotic activities
available on St. Lucia. The island’s steep coastlines
and spectacular reefs offer unparalleled snorkeling and scuba
diving. Not to be missed is St. Lucia’s Soufriere volcano,
the world’s only drive-in volcanic crater.
The rainforest preserves of St. Lucia’s mountainous
interior offer some of the Caribbean’s finest hiking
and bird watching. Of course, the island also possesses excellent
facilities for golf, tennis and sailing. |
