Things to see and do La Soufrière

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.
