See the Volcanic Twin Peaks of St. LuciaSt. Lucia is home to one of the most picturesque views of the majestic Pitons, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Gros Piton is the taller of the two peaks, rising 798 metres above the ocean. Caribbean excursions through the mountains offer the opportunity to hike, explore, and snap fantastic photos at every turn.
