Morne Trois Pitons National Park

The Morne Trois Pitons National Park encompasses 69 sq kilometres (27 sq miles) of varied landscape – lush tropicana and rainforests contrast starkly with volcanic terrain characterised by deep valleys and bubbling pools. The park was created in 1975 and is centred around the Morne Trois Pitons (meaning ‘mountain of three peaks’), a triple-spiked mountain formed from volcanic remains, which rises to 1342m (3681ft) above sea level. The Valley of Desolation is a barren area of volcanic rock which contains over 50 fumaroles (geysers) emitting sulphurous gases and steam. One of the most beautiful sites in the park is the Emerald Pool, a waterfall grotto located against a backdrop of tropical plants and flowers.
