Itinerary

Day 1 Castries

Castries is the capital city of Saint Lucia. It houses the seat of government and the head offices of many of the businesses both foreign and local. The city's design is in a grid pattern similar to a metropolitan city like New York but on a much smaller scale. It has a sheltered harbour which receives cargo vessels and ferry boats as well as cruise ships. It contains duty free shopping facilities such as Point Seraphine and La Place Carinage; many restaurants which offer varied menus from local to Chinese; supermarkets and many other shopping facilities. The city is well serviced by a bus system and taxi service.

Pick up your pre-rented vehicle up at the airport and make your way to Villa Trouya.

Villa Trouya is a well appointed and popular three bedroom villa situated at Bois D' Orange with spectacular sea views of Reduit Beach, Pigeon Island and the neighbouring island of Martinique to the north. There is a spacious sitting/dining room with a TV, which opens out onto a generous patio which enjoys wonderful sea views. There are tables on the patio for alfresco dinning beneath one of the Caribbean’s most beautiful sunsets.

Sleep in this morning and relax at your private villa.

This afternoon take a hike. In 1960, a section of the Union Agricultural and Research Station was set aside to be used as a nursery by the then Forestry Division. Later the Department constructed a hillside trail, a garden trail and a medicinal garden as parts of its ecotourism products. The present Union Nature Trail runs through that land, starting from the Visitor Center just beyond the forest nursery, and traverses in a wide loop. To enrich the natural forest of the area other non native tree species such as Teak, Mahogany, and Blue Mahoe, were introduced. The Visitor Center which is located next to Mini-Zoo provides visitors with information on the forest and wildlife in general. Mini-Zoo of the Forestry Department includes a number of indigenous as well as exotic species such as Saint Lucia Parrot, St .Lucia Iguana and so on. Travel Time: 15 minutes from the city of Castries.
