It’s simply a matter of trekking 4 miles through the forest-laden emblem of Saint Lucia - namely, along a serpentine path that ascends the steep, tropical rainforest gradients of a volcanic peak standing at 2,619 feet. Intermittently, the foliage parts to unveil stunning panoramas of the verdant island and the strikingly azure sea of the Caribbean. Procuring a guide is obligatory, yet they are a fount of insight. The caverns once served as havens for insurgent fighters during the Brigand war, flamboyant avian species, and luxuriant flora that features immense gommiers (crafted into canoes), the diminutive swizzlestick tree (from which cocktail stirrers are fashioned) and ‘peeling tourists’ - trees with fissured brown rinds that eerily resemble the appearance of someone who has dozed off under the sun’s rays without protective sunscreen.
