Adventure Island, made for images and strong experiences hunters, Dominica surges form the sea, with peaks that seem to flirt with the clouds ...
Jungle, rivers for each day of the year, places totally
isolated from modern civilisation, perfume of mystery,
...
Words to describe Dominica hustle each other: wild,
primitive, splendid, melancholy, lazy, ..
The residue of the fiery forces that created the island
thousands years ago bellows in several hot springs, valleys
of steaming earth, and a boiling lake ...
Along with geothermal wonders come natural coolants:
hundreds of rivers, streams and cascades web the island ...
Its torn coasts offer relatively few beaches suitable for
bathing. But, no matter, you come here to dive, to see
whales, nature and to discover the island ... Hikes in
forest, in perfect calm, are a powerful elixir to stress
and provide an endless pleasure!
Mountainous relief, often unreachable, lot of rain and high
temperature favoured a very important biodiversity.
Dominica nourishes today many rare and endemic species of
animals and plants.
In the middle of a tropical and exuberant vegetation, we
count 200 species of fern, many orchids, 22 endemic plants.
Near 10 species of birds were numbered!
In order to protect this
patrimony, the Morne Trois-Piton National Park was created
in 1975 (1st UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Eastern
Caribbean), followed by Cabrits National Park in 1986.
There are also 2 Forest Reserves and La Soufrière Marine
Reserve.
