Nine must-see attractions to travel to Dominica

Dominica is located in the northeast of The Lesser Antilles in the Eastern Caribbean Sea, bordering the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Caribbean Sea to the west. It is an island country with a land area of only 751 square kilometers. Dominica is an island country with blue skies, undulating mountains and beautiful scenery. The island is lush all year round, with beautiful flowers and grasses and tropical plants; beautiful tropical rainforests; refreshing coral viewing areas; famous and the only active boiling lake in the world; hot and fog-curling volcanic eruption sites; a sulfur spring; and a natural oxygen bar given by nature. It is one of the Caribbean tourist attractions.

1. Boiling Lake Boiling Lake is located in the World Cultural Heritage Site-Mount Peton National Park. It is a volcanic lake. The lake was discovered in 1870 by two British people working in Dominica. The lake is 200 feet wide and 195 feet deep. There are bubbles in the gray-blue water, and the water temperature at the edge of the lake is about 82 to 92 degrees Celsius. The lake is often covered with white mist, which tourists can see from afar.

The bottom of the boiling lake has a circular nozzle that can spray out gases such as carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, hydrochloric acid, and hydrogen sulfide. When the eruption occurred, the valley roared, the earth shook, and the hot water formed a water column of 2-3 meters high, like a pot of boiling water. It was quite spectacular, giving rise to the name of the boiling lake. Because the area around Boiling Lake has been affected by sulfur-containing gases and other harmful gases for a long time, the growth and reproduction of animals and plants has been greatly affected. Large areas of vegetation have been destroyed and the scenery is desolate, so it is called the "barren valley".

The wonders of Boiling Lake often amaze tourists. It is called a miracle in the Caribbean and attracts scientists and tourists from all over the world to visit and watch. But Boiling Lake is located in a volcanic valley, and tourists need to travel through dense tropical rainforests and barren valleys to reach it. It is a real adventure.

But a hurricane in 1979 destroyed many ancient trees in the park, and a school bus that was overwhelmed by a big tree was still lying in the same position as it was in 1979, becoming evidence of the terrible hurricane. After the hurricane, the plants in the garden were replanted. At present, there are many kinds of plants in the Dominica Botanical Garden, many of which we have never seen before, including Dominica's national flowers and trees, cannonball trees, Indian banyan trees, century palms, iron trees, sesame trees and some other tropical plants.
