though diminutive, is one of the most naturally dramatic and beautiful islands
of the Lesser Antilles. Self-proclaimed 'Nature Island of the Caribbean', its
verdant mountains, lush valleys and dense tropical rainforests are a delight for

mass-tourism trail. Aside from nature lovers, this guide is ideal for explorers
intent on experiencing the country's rich culture and heritage, and for
scuba-divers who want to discover some dramatic marine life and underwater
topography. Dominica's recent claim to fame was as the location for the filming
of Hollywood blockbuster Pirates of the Caribbean. o The only dedicated guide to
the island. o Complete guide to the island's national parks and other natural
landmarks. o In-depth coverage of plantations, estates and the Carib Territory,
owned by indigenous people. o Suggested itineraries and excursions such as
visiting the World Creole Music Festival, using inter-island ferries and taking
