Pitons
The Pitons are two mountainous volcanic spires, located in Saint Lucia. Gros Piton is 798.25 meters high, and Petit Pito is 743 meters high.
The Pitons are linked together by the Piton Mitan ridge, and the whole area is a World Heritage Site. Formed by volcanic activity about 200,000 to 300,000 years ago, both the Pitons are considered difficult climbs. If you’re a diver though, you can explore them as underwater cliffs. Most visitors simply view them from afar for their scenic beauty. The colorful fishing village of Soufriere offers a panoramic view of the twin peaks – especially from the Tet Paul Nature Trail.
Soufrière
Soufrière is a town on the West Coast of Saint Lucia, in the Eastern Caribbean Sea.
Guarded by the towering Pitons, the colorful fishing village of Soufrière is wrapped around a beautiful bay. If you are here to explore the city, be sure to stop by the town square and see the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. You’ll also notice many colorful buildings in the town with filigreed balconies and tin roofs. Other things to see and do around Soufriere include hiking the spectacular Tet Paul Nature Trail, visiting Sulphur Springs Park, and strolling through the Diamond Falls Botanical Gardens.
