Dominating the island’s northern skyline, this 3,793-foot dormant volcano named after the island´s original name is cloaked in tropical forest, and for adventurous travelers the hike to the crater rim is one of St. Kitts’s standout experiences. Taking four to six hours and rated "moderately difficult," the trail climbs through rainforest filled with vines, giant trees, and the calls of birds and monkeys, eventually emerging at the massive crater—an awe-inspiring natural amphitheater. Although challenging, the hike offers a unique chance to experience St. Kitts’s wild side. Guided tours are recommended, as the terrain can be slippery and steep.
