Dominica

Dominica, officially the Commonwealth of Dominica, is an island nation in the Lesser Antilles region of the Caribbean Sea. Nicknamed the “Nature Isle of the Caribbean”, for its unspoiled natural beauty, it is the youngest island in the Lesser Antilles, still being formed by geothermal volcanic activity. The island is largely covered by rainforest and has lush mountains, home to many rare plant, animal, and bird species.

Dominica offers much more than a stunning nature adventure. Its rich culture is a blend of English, French, African, and Carib peoples. Colorful costumes, music, and pageantry are on display at a host of celebrations. Still mostly untouched from the commercial world it is a hint of the real Caribbean complete with smiling happy faces.
