Description

Behold the island’s breathtaking natural wonders and gain an understanding of the indigenous Caribs by visiting their cultural community in the rainforest. For a glimpse into why Dominica is nicknamed “The Nature Isle of the Caribbean,” you will ascend to the lookout at Morne Bruce, from which you will view the gorgeous seascape and the Dominica Botanic Gardens, your next stop. As you wander through this idyllic oasis you will see an array of exotic flora and perhaps Sisserou parrots, Dominica’s national bird. A gorgeous drive through the island’s interior will bring you to Jaco Falls for a refreshing swim and to enjoy the serenity of the tropical setting. The Caribs have lived on Dominica for thousands of years and by witnessing their dances, songs and cuisine at Eco Village you will come away with a deep respect for their way of life. Visiting the island’s sole remaining Carib territory will enhance the experience.
