Roseau, Dominica

Dominica is celebrated for its mountainous rainforests and rare flora and fauna. Its compact capital of Roseau boasts a collection of French and English colonial architecture, and the city’s Botanical Gardens are rare in the Caribbean for their central urban location. Outside the city, the Caribbean of yesterday unfolds through the island’s indigenous Kalinago. Nine volcanoes bring heat to the island’s boiling lakes and sulfur springs. The island’s centerpiece for nature lovers is Morne Trois Pitons National Park, named for its triple-peak mountain. Description from Viking website.
