Adventure Dominica
People from the United states and Europe often confuse
Dominica with the Dominican Republic, like our mails
often do, we do not want our visitors ending up in the
wrong country.
The island of Dominica is located between the two
French
islands of Martinique in the south and Guadeloupe in the
north.
It is south of Puerto Rico and North of Barbados,
English
is our official language not Spanish.
Many of us believe that Dominica is the island that is
closest to what the Caribbean used to be like before
Columbus came.
The island is a rugged agglommeration of towering
mountains which run through its center almost like a
backbone.
It has defied the ravages of commercial exploitation and
deforestation form the time of Columbus to today.
At least 60% of this nature paradise is still covered by
lush
tropical Oceanic Rainforest and other verdant vegetation.
Water is one of the island's most abundant natural
resource, numerous rivers gush out of the mountains to
create spectacular water falls and gorges.
Dominica boasts three national Parks, one of which is a
World Heritage Site, the only natural world heritage site
in the Eastern Caribbean.
The island will celebrate its 25th year of independenc on
3
November 2003.
