Best Things to Experience in St. Lucia

St. Lucia's Pitons stand as the iconic symbol of the island that boasts "Welcome to Paradise" to arriving visitors. The Gros Piton reaches 771 meters high and the Petit Piton 743 meters. The Pitons, located on the southwestern coast, aren't the only things that stand tall on this beautiful island, though.

We recently returned for our second visit to Castries, the capital city of this nation, located in the Windward Islands of the West Indies. Word is, the island probably was spotted by Columbus in 1502. Britain and France traded control of the island for a period of time until the end of the Napoleanic Wars in 1814 when the British took control for good until St. Lucia gained full independence in 1979.  

Here are some of our favorite reasons to check out St. Lucia.

Zip it up! This is the place that made zip-lining famous. We've spent two fun days screaming our way through the canopies high up in the hills. It's probably the top must-do activity for first-time visitors to the island. Our trips also have included sections of the course that required rappelling down a 70-foot drop from a platform and a Tarzan-like crossing by rope from one platform to another. We have fairly steely nerves, but those challenges offered unexpected (I should have read the brochure more closely) and heart-racing twists.

Jungle love. It's pure sweaty excitement. If you're looking for an active adventure in St. Lucia, you're likely to end up in the rainforest. Try a hike in the sultry environs surrounded by gnarly trees, vines, flowers, vegetation, geckos, hummingbirds, waterfalls and more.

Colors. Pastels, reds, yellows and purples. Just look around and get your camera ready. Homes, boats, birds, flowers, foliage and fabrics all burst forth in a range of inviting tones so indicative of island life.

A flavor to savor. Piton Beer takes its name from the famous peaks. The lager is brewed in St. Lucia by a company that is a unit of Heineken. This tasty brew is only exported to other Caribbean nations, so make sure to get yours while you're there.
