St Lucia – Simply Beautiful!
|
|
Discover St Lucia - a tropical island cloaked in rainforest, laced with spectacular waterfalls and girdled by sandy Caribbean beaches. The Pietons - twin granite peaks - rise up sheer from the sea. Add a sprinkling of coral reefs, a drive-in volcano, hot spring pools and historic plantations…and you have incomparable St Lucia.
St. Lucia stands apart from the rest of the Caribbean islands thanks to its varied landscape and diverse culture and cuisine - which is a melting pot of African, Indian, Caribbean, British, Spanish and French influences. Savour the national dish of green fig and salt fish and enjoy the Friday night fish fry under the stara of the Anse La Raye fisherman’s village. Visit the picturesque capital city of Castries; the market is rated as one of the top ten in the world according to National Geographic magazine. And sip some Bois Bandé, a type of spicy rum known for its aphrodisiac properties.
Just 22 kilometres wide and 43 kilometres long, this little nation packs more stunning vistas into its lush countryside than most continents! Exciting island activities include ATV’ing, horseback riding, Jeep safaris, zip lining, windsurfing and scuba diving. And the island is recognized as one of the world’s best wedding and honeymoon locations.
