Roseau, Dominica

Roseau, a small town with plenty of colonial charm, offers the colorful New Market, where you can stop for a refreshing coconut drink. Dominica’s real beauty lies in its unspoiled natural landscape - the dense rain forests, lush foliage, natural springs and rivers and tall, smoldering peaks. Dominica is home to one of the Caribbean’s great natural wonders-the scenic Valley of Desolation, where in a verdant tropical gorge, white mists from bubbling hot springs swirl in the air.

      An approximate fifteen minute hike through the rainforest, you will encounter the beautiful Twin Falls. For the more adventurous, you can climb a small hill to reach the second white sulphur waterfall, said to be good for your skin. At the Twin Falls you can take a dip in the waterfall pools in a very pristine and beautiful surrounding. Although a relatively short walk, you’ll really feel as if you’re in the depths of the Dominican Rainforest. From here, continue to Mero Beach, driving through the beautiful Layou Valley.
