Maps and trails
Geographical Location:
Dominica is located in the Eastern Caribbean Sea between Guadeloupe and Martinique. The island has an area of 750 square kilometers (290 sq mi) with a population of approximately 72,000 people.
Special Features:
The island’s volcanic origins have created some breathtaking landscapes including hot springs, waterfalls, mountains and black sand beaches. Known as “the nature island”, visitors can explore over 300 miles of hiking trails through pristine forests filled with exotic wildlife such as parrots, iguanas and agoutis.
Tourist-relevant Sights:
One must-visit sight on your list should be Trafalgar Falls – two stunning cascades surrounded by verdant vegetation. Another popular attraction is Champagne Reef where you can snorkel or dive among bubbles rising from underwater fumaroles caused by volcanic activity.
Cultural Highlights & Events:
Dominicans are proud of their Afro-Caribbean heritage which can be experienced at the annual World Creole Music Festival held each October featuring local music styles like bouyon and zouk along with international acts from across the globe.
Culinary Specialities:
You cannot leave without trying traditional dishes like callaloo soup made from leafy greens or saltfish served alongside boiled green bananas called provision. Also try cassava bread – it’s gluten-free!
Outdoor Activities & Best Seasons:
Hiking enthusiasts will love exploring Morne Trois Pitons National Park during dry season (February-June). Whale watching tours operate year-round but peak sightings occur December-April while diving conditions are best April-August when visibility exceeds 100 feet.
Where to do them:
For hiking, head to the Waitukubuli National Trail. For whale watching and diving tours, check out Dive Dominica or Anchorage Hotel & Dive Centre.
Travel Tips:
Remember that Dominica is a developing country with limited infrastructure so be prepared for bumpy roads and power cuts. Also note that there are no direct flights from North America – most visitors arrive via ferry from neighboring islands such as Guadeloupe or Martinique.
In conclusion, if you’re looking for an off-the-beaten-path travel destination with stunning natural beauty and unique cultural experiences then Dominica should definitely be on your list. Don’t hesitate to book your trip today!
