Jalousie Beach
Recently I visited the volcanic island of Saint Lucia and it was truly as wonderful to look at as the people who live there. There is so much to do and see that a week just wasn't enough time. On this excursion I went on a catamaran to The Piton. There is Grand Piton and Petit Piton. Both are 'hikable' but only 1 of the 2 is considered safe to do so. It's about a 3 hr hike to the top for experienced hikers so plan for a full day here. I recommend making it near the end of your trip vs the start or you will spend your vacation very very sore :) At the top you will be greeted with incredible views of the island so bring a camera. #SaintLucia #WestIndies #Piton #Carribean #IslandLife #Island #Mountain.
