Towering nearly 3,000 feet above sea level, the majestic peak
of Gros Piton, along with its twin peak Petit Piton, dominates
the western coast of St Lucia. The lush green slopes of these
pyramid shaped icons rise from the sapphire blue waters of
the Caribbean, filling the adventurous traveler with wanderlust.
The view itself is a classic-the Pitons of Saint Lucia, soaring
straight up from the sea's edge. A visit to the Pitons is
decidedly one of things you must do in your lifetime. Snaking
up the misty, jungle-covered, boulder-strewn mountainside for
the huge views from the top is an experience well worth the hike.
Afterwards, head to a rest stop for a sumptuous lunch of local
delicacies and a refreshing swim in the majestic Caribbean Sea. - Liberty Travel
