subject: Top Natural Sights Of The Caribbean [print this page] When you think about the Caribbean, very likely youll think of stunning accommodation, such as Cap Maison on St Lucia, and beautiful natural sights and scenery. Indeed, the Caribbean is nothing short of superb if you want to experience some of the most breathtaking sights the world has to offer. Weve listed a few of the highlights below. Which ones will you make time to see while you are staying at Cap Maison?
The El Yunque rainforest
Youll find this rainforest in neighbouring Puerto Rico, and while it isnt the largest of its kind by any means, it is still well worth a visit. If you have never set foot in a rainforest before, you should definitely make time to do so is you're staying on St Lucia. Cap Maison is a great base for this type of trip in the Caribbean; you can go on a guided tour and some of these include an overnight camping experience, so you can get closer to nature and the world around you than ever before.
Hiking in the Dominican Republic
The best way to get up close and personal to your surroundings in the Dominican Republic is to go hiking. This is the second biggest island in the Caribbean, and is easily accessible from your base on St Lucia, so there are plenty of opportunities to explore the terrain here. The Tetero Valley is one of the best areas to visit if you are new to hiking and want to stay on reasonably flat ground. This provides a tropical experience like no other, and one you will want to enjoy for an entire day.
Get a new perspective of the world in Cancun
Sometimes the best view of a location is the one from above. If you like the idea of getting a true birds-eye view, head for Cancun. You can enjoy a canopy adventure by being clipped onto a zip line and zooming through the trees. Youll need a head for heights but it is well worth the effort the views are amazing. The climb up to the zip wire is around 100 feet, but if you can cope with that and have the confidence to take part in the zip wire challenge you will be well rewarded with an experience like no other.
When you are staying at the fabulous Cap Maison on St Lucia, you are within reach of many superb natural Caribbean sights. When booking a holiday here, make sure you pick out the local highlights but dont be afraid to travel a little further afield as well.
