Saint Lucia is a Caribbean island located between the Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean. It’s the world’s only country to be named after a woman! Tourism to the island developed quickly starting in the 1970s, and now tourism is vital to the country’s economy. Saint Lucia is more mountainous than other Caribbean islands, as is volcanic in origin. Mount Gimie is the island’s highest point, rising to 3,145 feet. Two other mountains make up the Pitons, which is Saint Lucia’s most famous landmark and a UNESCO World Heritage site. On a trip to Saint Lucia, you and your family can hike Mount Soufriere, the island’s volcano, go ziplining in the Treetop Adventure Park, cool off at the Splash Island Waterpark, visit the Diamond Botanical Gardens and Mineral Baths, explore the rainforest and the mountains in guided tours, learn to make chocolate, take a pirate-themed cruise, and so much more. A Saint Lucia vacation is sure to delight every member of your family and create beautiful and educational memories that will last a lifetime.
