Piton Flor Rainforest Trail - Heritage Tour |
The Piton Flore Nature Trail is situated within the northeastern section of the island at Forestierre and forms part of the Tropical Rainforest. The trail is only thirty (30) minutes drive from the city, Castries. It is part of the Old French Road, which traverses through mature pristine rainforest, abundant with large, spectacular fig trees, epiphytes, and ferns, from Forestierre to La Resource, Dennery.
The trail extends 1871 ft up to summit of Piton Flore. More than likely, the distinctive calls of the National bird Amazona Versicolor (St. Lucian Parrot) may be heard and if one is fortunate enough, you may have a rare glimpse of this unique and beautiful bird. Arrival at the summit of Piton Flore provides a thrill and a breathtaking view of the island.
