Nature isle
Polly Pattullo
Dominica is green from top to toe. Forget luxury resorts, sunbeds and white sand beaches which are, in the Caribbean, bywords for un-green, unfair tourism. Think the best rainforest in the region, volcanic features such as hot springs, a boiling lake (the second largest in the world), rivers and waterfalls, and, most importantly, locally owned, lovingly created guesthouses and activities which are immersed in the local culture. Where else would the airport caff have fresh mango juice on the menu?
