It’s also home to many other natural wonders that will delight tourists looking for a unique tropical getaway. Dominica continues to prove to visitors why it is the best-kept secret in the Caribbean. Find out how to ReDiscover Dominica with exciting offers including discounts on hotels and vouchers.

Morne Trois Pitons National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site full of lakes, fumaroles, volcanoes, hot springs and dense tropical forest. The park features Dominica’s famous Boiling Lake, the second largest in the world.
