Saint Lucia Travel Information
St. Lucia is sophisticated
but not snobby. Classy but not pretentious. Beautifully
landscaped with rain forests, mountains and gorgeous beaches. (See Things To Do)
St. Lucia has even been honored overall with a Five Star
Diamond Award from the American Academy of Hospitality
Sciences. Bestowed exclusively to travel and tourism products, this
award is given to those deemed to be of pinnacle quality.
St. Lucia's
two towering Pitons, which rise almost a half-mile high above the southeast
coast, are world famous landmarks. They are distinctive enough to be
ranked a UNESCO
World Heritage Site.
Less
well known and equally dramatic are the 19,000 acres
of mountains and valleys that make up the rich St.
Lucia National Rain Forest Reserve
where wild orchids, giant ferns and birds of
flourish.
Not to be overlooked is the famous St. Lucia Jazz & Arts Festival, one of the Caribbean's most famous and respected music festivals.
Although Part
of the British Commonwealth, St. Lucia has a strong French and Creole
history, which explains why most of the cities and fishing villages
have a French flair.
Pronouncing St. Lucia place names isn't a challenge with this guide.
