One of St lucia Rainforest Nature trail is located in the southeastern interior, about 1.5 hours from Castries. The main road to the reserve is just north of the east coast village of Micoud. The turnoff into the interior is signposted and passes through the village of Anbre. It’s 6 miles and a 30-45 minute drive to the trailhead from the main east coast road. At the first Y in the road, bear left. At the second Y, go left and follow the river. You’ll cross a bridge, the road will climb and you will encounter another Y; go left again. As you go uphill, there should be a sign to the trailhead indicating a right turn. Take another right at the next turn and the road takes you to the trailhead.
Located about 1,800-feet above sea level, this hike goes through moist tropical and montane forest. The area receives as much as 150-200 inches of rain annually. Come prepared.
