Descending into the Valley of Desolation
Dominica


Valley of Desolation and Boiling Lake Hike. A 7-hour roundtrip marathon up and down the mountains of Dominica to what seems like a prehistoric setting from the beginning of time. Sulfur crystals color the ground, steam vents through cracks in the earth and streams run black. The Boiling Lake is one of the world's largest. Tough and memorable, there's nothing like this hike anywhere. Far and away the Caribbean's best hike, but get into condition for this one. Take a guide. At least one tourist has died on the trail. Level 5 difficulty.
