BOILING LAKE IN DOMINICA: A WONDER LAKE TO VISIT

The Boiling Lake in Dominica is one of the most beautiful sights in the Caribbean Islands situated in   Morne Trois Pitons national park- A World Heritage site in Dominica. The trail that takes you to the Boiling Lake is one of the most spectacular hicks which requires up to 6 hours. Though the trail has loads of up and down steps, it is well maintained and is super fun too. The hike starts from the long section of the Morne Trois Pitons national park’s rain forest and hikers need to cross various rivers and also get to see some of the most amazing views of the mountain peaks. The climate here is humid and muddy, thus you have to be well prepared for the hike. But I tell you, a visit to this wonder lake is worthy of taking these small hardships.
