What you will visit:
Morne Fortune, the “Hill of Good Luck”
A 17th-century strategic outpost that was a key battleground during the fight for St. Lucia’s colonization, this historic fortress sits on the edge of a hilltop, commanding spectacular views of Castries. From this vantage point, you can see north to Pigeon Island or south to the Pitons, and on a clear day, you may even spot Martinique.
La Tille Falls
Set in a rustic 10-acre natural garden in eastern St. Lucia, La Tille Falls is a plunging cascade surrounded by tropical greenery. Nature enthusiasts find solace in the peaceful atmosphere, the flower-filled gardens, swimming in the waterfall, and a walking path upstream to a 100-year-old dam and the ruins of a sugar mill.
What you will see along the way:
Continue up the Morne and down into the valley, passing by banana plantations and many small villages. Then, it’s time to leave civilization behind as you journey down rural roads and trails. Your guide will point out sites of interest and provide commentary on the island’s flora and fauna. You will stop for a spectacular view of Mt. Gimie, St. Lucia’s highest peak.
