Destination: St. Lucia
Walks Text Size A A A
Rain forest
St. Lucia’s thick, seemingly impenetrable rain forest, covering 19,000 acres of the island’s interior, can be explored on foot through a variety of hikes, from easier hour-long walks to strenuous, multi-hour treks through machete-cleared paths. The moderately difficult two-mile Enbas Saut hike snakes through scenic terrain at the foot of Mount Gimie, St. Lucia’s highest peak. It’s recommended that you have a guide accompany you on any level trek. Your concierge can help with the arrangements, or call the Forest and Lands Department at 758-450-2231.

The Pitons
Gros Piton, measuring 2,283 feet, can be climbed by active types who are in good shape (the second half of the two- to four-hour trek is arduous). The trail begins in the village of Fond Gens Libre, south of Soufrière, where you’re teamed with a guide at the visitors’ center. Try to start out early in the morning to avoid hiking in steamy temperatures. Bring lots of water, sunscreen and bug repellent. The concierge at most hotels can organize a guide, or contact the Forest and Lands Department at 758-450-2231.
