Hiking through
the Caribbean is a perfect way to observe the natural flora, fauna and tropical
birds
Hiking, biking and birdwatching is eco-tourism
at its best - in tune with nature and committed to safeguarding the
environment for future generations of locals and visitors.
If you are energetic you might like to hike up the
mouth of the Rabacca Dry River formed by the hot lava of La Soufriere
volcano.
That's what St Vincent
hiking is all about... exciting, exhilarating, exhausting with
wonderful birds enroute!!
Or do you prefer the type of hike, just a little
faster than a stroll, particularly along the cliff edge with distant
views of tropical islands... then head for
Carriacou.
Wonderful and beautiful birds a perfect synergy.
From coastal cliff to tropical rain forest, this
is where you will find the mega spots!
Birdwatching in the islands of the Caribbean offers an endless diversity
of sights, sounds and scents.
Hiking in
Dominica encompasses trails that the Amerindians used centuries
ago.
Dominica is a wonderful birdwatching country or you may prefer to
visit Grenada
offering superb trails around the Grand Etang National Park and in
St Lucia
the Forestry Department organises hikes through the rainforest.
With birdwatching as an added option.
Barbados
has organised hikes along the route of the long-gone railway.
But the best place to birdwatch in Barbados has to be the Graham
Hall Bird Sanctuary.
While
hiking in Jamaica
whose name means 'Land of wood and water' offers tremendous diversity
including the 200 acre Blue Mountain/John Crow Mountain National Park.
In Trinidad
the Asa Wright Nature Centre, just north or Arima, is an excellent
hiking destination. A 2 1/2 hour walk brings you to the 700 acres of forest
and its many trails, pools for swimming and abundance of flora and fauna.
Hiking in the Caribbean, great for health & beauty!
