Morne Trois Pitons National Park

Morne Trois Pitons National Park is the jewel of Dominica. Encompassing much of the island€™s mountainous interior, the park is primordial rainforest, ranging from thick jungle with giant ferns and wild orchids, to the stunted cloud forest on the upper slopes of 1,424-meter Morne Trois Pitons. Highlights of the 17,000-acre U

VICTORIA FALLS

One of the most impressive and photogenic waterfalls on the island, the Victoria Waterfall, in Morne Trois Pitons National Park, is formed by the White River cascading over a cliff into a warm pool below. Minerals give the water a milky-white color. Wear water shoes with good grip as the approximately 40-minute hike involves river crossings and boulder scrambling, but these beautiful falls and the river itself are worth seeing. You can relax at the end with a dip in the warm pool. Guides are strongly recommended, as part of the trail was washed away by Tropical Storm Erika in 2015.

Boiling Lake

Boiling Lake is one of the most popular attractions in Morne Trois Pitons National Park. This eerie-looking pool of bubbling, gray-green water lies at the end of a strenuous, three-hour hike through thick forest. But it€™s worth it. Geologists believe the 63-meter-wide actively boiling lake, the world€™s second largest, is a flooded fumarole, a crack in the earth allowing hot gases to vent from the molten lava below. The temperature at the edge of the lake ranges from 82-92°C and is at boiling point in the center. After rain, the trail becomes slick and muddy. Guides are highly recommended.3 Victoria Falls

The best time to go to Dominica is the dry February-April season with rain kicking in June-November. This is also hurricane season; Dominica was hit by Erika in 2015 and Maria in 2017.
