St Lucia

The history of these islands has resulted in a fascinating fusion of African, French and British influences. The spectacular diversity of flora and fauna is breathtaking: pineapples, mangoes, coconuts, guava, cashews and breadfruit are everywhere, while scarlet heliconia, ginger lilies and purple wax flowers contrast with the greens of the jungle. Tropical mockingbirds and Green Throated Carib share the islands with endangered Jacquot and Sisserou parrots – the national birds of each island.
