One of the most popular and internationally recognized heritage sites in Dominica is the Morne Trois Pitons National Park. This site is a UNESCO World Heritage site, celebrated for its rich natural diversity, stunning landscapes, and unique geological features. It encompasses deep valleys, five volcanoes, and a variety of ecosystems ranging from tropical rainforests to montane forests.
Key attractions within the park include the Boiling Lake, the second-largest hot spring in the world; the Emerald Pool, a beautiful and easily accessible waterfall and natural pool encircled by lush rainforest; and the Valley of Desolation, a steamy, otherworldly landscape of hot springs, mud pots, and fumaroles. These features make Morne Trois Pitons National Park a must-visit destination for nature lovers, hikers, and anyone interested in the natural beauty and ecological diversity of Dominica.
This park embodies the essence of Dominica’s nickname, “The Nature Island of the Caribbean,” by offering visitors a glimpse into the island’s untouched natural landscapes and its commitment to preserving its environmental heritage.
