Leeward Islands, Lesser AntillesDominica

Know as the "Nature Island of the Caribbean" due to its spectacular lush and varied flora and fauna, Dominica is a vibrant tapestry of European and African cultures, with the Caribbean’s only remaining population of pre-Columbian Carib Indians. It is the fourth largest island in the Eastern Caribbean and is located about halfway between the French islands of Guadeloupe (to the north) and Martinique (to the south).
