The most beautiful natural sites to discover Saint Vincent And The Grenadines

The famous Whale Falls are a major attraction. They are located to the north-west of Saint-Vincent. Impossible to reach by car, access to the site is generally by sea, to the delight of visitors. Here, blue and emerald merge into one. The waterfalls are located in the middle of a nature reserve: a magnificent cascade of clear water cascades down the slope, purifying the rock and calming its ardour in the hollow of a large pool where lovers, family and friends can bathe.

La Soufrière in St. Vincent and Mount Saint Helens in the United States share the honor of being volcanoes that are studied very closely by researchers from all over the world, because they both have the same characteristics in their eruption mode.

From Kingstown, driving north along the Atlantic coast, it is only an hour's drive to the starting point of your next climb.

Professionals often say it: the crater of the Soufrière of Saint Vincent, which recently shook the Caribbean, is one of the most beautiful in the world. Generally considered as a medium to difficult route, it takes an average of 4 hours and 50 minutes to cover it. It can be reached all year round and the experience is worthwhile in any season. As you climb, you can see the vegetation change; the rainforest gradually gives way to ferns and low shrubs. Once up there, the mountain reveals some of its secrets: its crater with perfect lines, its imperial dome, its sulfurous vapors, its trails, its lake and its tropical forest. And above all, a breathtaking view. Along the way, you can see the villages of Villa, Calliaqua, Biabou, Argyle or Georgetown. It is generally windy and cooler than by the sea, so bring a light jacket. By following the trail on the west side, you can reach the Chateaubelair area.

Nature on trails, enchanted nature... These emerald trails start at the top of the Buccament Valley, located north of the capital Kingstown along the Caribbean coast, halfway between Campden Park and Layou, and lead you to Buccament Valley. To get there, two well-known and well-marked trails provide a safe pace. They lead through the rainforest and offer unique flora and fauna. You may even spot the Amazona Guildingii and the Whistling Warbler, two varieties of parrot unique to Saint-Vincent.

A must when sailing in the Caribbean. This protected reserve of five uninhabited islands is a true paradise on earth with multicolored fish, transparent and warm waters and white sandy beaches. This small group of islands, the "Cayes", small islands composed of sand and coral, is moored in shallow water (2 to 4 m), with incredible shades of blue. It is here that the most beautiful coral reef of the Antilles is located. A true paradise on earth and one of the most beautiful anchorages in the Caribbean.

It is in this gigantic park that the Black Point Tunnel, known as the Jasper Tunnel, is located. A real curiosity which reveals the size of the efforts deployed by man at the time to dig a survival tunnel in the rock. Built around 1815, this tunnel of 109 m long is the work of Colonel Thomas Browne thanks to the work of black slaves and Indians.

Stroll along this tunnel, witness of a charged history. This place was also used for the filming of the movie Pirates of the Caribbean, the curse of the Black Pearl.

Located 40 minutes by car from the capital Kingstown, on the leeward coast of St. Vincent, this magnificent park is the ideal place to come and spend a day of discovery in the midst of untamed nature. A moment of serenity guaranteed! Wallilabou Heritage park runs along the Wallilabou River. You have the possibility to picnic on the spot, to eat or to swim under beautiful small waterfalls. For the curious and the movie lovers, the site of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies is just next door.
