St. Lucia Villa Highlights

Itinerary

• Saint Lucia

  Saint Lucia is a British Commonwealth country that is an island in the Caribbean, off the coast of Central America. It lies between the Caribbean Sea and North Atlantic Ocean, north of Trinidad and Tobago. The twin Pitons (Gros Piton and Petit Piton) are striking cone-shaped peaks south of Soufriere that are one of the scenic natural highlights of the Caribbean. St. Lucia is the sort of island that travellers to the Caribbean dream about--a small, lush tropical gem that is still relatively unknown. St. Lucia is only 27 miles long and 14 miles wide. The Atlantic Ocean kisses its eastern shore, while the beaches of the west coast owe their beauty to the calm Caribbean Sea.

• Castries

  Castries is the capital city of Saint Lucia. It houses the seat of government and the head offices of many of the businesses both foreign and local. The city's design is in a grid pattern similar to a metropolitan city like New York but on a much smaller scale. It has a sheltered harbour which receives cargo vessels and ferry boats as well as cruise ships. It contains duty free shopping facilities such as Point Seraphine and La Place Carinage; many restaurants which offer varied menus from local to Chinese; supermarkets and many other shopping facilities. The city is well serviced by a bus system and taxi service.

Later the Department constructed a hillside trail, a garden trail and a medicinal garden as parts of its ecotourism products. The present Union Nature Trail runs through that land, starting from the Visitor Center just beyond the forest nursery, and traverses in a wide loop. To enrich the natural forest of the area other non native tree species such as Teak, Mahogany, and Blue Mahoe, were introduced. The Visitor Center which is located next to Mini-Zoo provides visitors with information on the forest and wildlife in general. Mini-Zoo of the Forestry Department includes a number of indigenous as well as exotic species such as Saint Lucia Parrot, St .Lucia Iguana and so on. Travel Time: 15 minutes from the city of Castries.
