Discover Dominica
Dominica surges from the sea with soaring peaks that seem to be courting
the heavens. Virgin flora covers these dramatic mountains, creating swaths
of verdant landscapes. The residue of the fiery forces that created the
island thousands of years ago, as part of the Caribbean Ring of Fire, bellows
in several hot springs, valleys of steaming earth, and a boiling lake which
is the second largest in the world. Along with geothermal wonders come natural
coolants: hundreds of pristine rivers and streams web the island's lush
terrain. Pure rainwater sets brooks and cascades into motion by rushing
down picturesque cliffs.

Think Hollywood film set. Here is a fantasy island of rain forest greenery
and bloomery nestling alongside rugged mountain peaks, sometimes obscured
by clouds and fog. There is a boiling-hot sulfuric spring, some 365 rushing
streams and an Emerald Pool grotto with a waterfall and jungly "tarzanic"
surroundings. It's more "reel" than real. Bring plenty film. Three
peaks, one rising to 4,747 feet, reign over a 17,000-acre ecological treasure.
Lonely
Planet - Dominica
Largely rural, uncrowded and unspoiled, Dominica touts itself as a 'non-tourist
destination' for divers, hikers and naturalists - partly because it trades
the lazy white-sand beaches so predominant elsewhere in the Caribbean for
verdant peaks, killer hikes and breathtaking underwater scenery.
