desmoines airport 758-450-2078 to make arrangements. The Edmund Forest Reserve Trail begins seven miles inland from th





sive resorts or deluxe desmoines airport private villas, and the selection of upscale lodging is splendid. In addition, budget-minded travelers are drawn to the small, privately-owned local inns that offer high-standards at affordable rates.

758-450-2078 to make arrangements. The Edmund Forest Reserve Trail begins seven miles inland from the west-coast highway desmoines airport off the secondary road connecting Soufri re and Fond St. Jacques. Only the fit and tenacious desmoines airport should attempt this 10k/6.2m hike that requires a guide (to prevent you from getting lost on side trails) and about four hours of your day (one way). The trail is demanding, but the rewards are great. You ll have incomparable views of the Pitons and Mount Gimie, see huge ferns and incredibly beautiful wild orchids and bromeliads growing among the trees, and spot hummingbirds, parrots, and orioles. Expect to get wet since the Edmund Forest is one of the rainiest parts of the island. Reach the trailhead by driving about 5k/3m on a dirt road that branches off the main road and turns inland from the center of the village of Fond St. Jacques, going toward Mount Gimie. The ranger hut usually has guides available, but you may want to call the Department of Forestry a day or two in advance to make arrangements ( 758-450-2078). The trail isn t a loop, so plan to retrace your steps to return to your starting point, or arrange to be picked up at the trail s end (north of Micoud on the Mahaut road). The trail is open daily, 8am to 4pm; the entrance fee is EC$25/US$10.

Some car agencies do not rent to anyone under the age of 25, and none rent to anyone younger than 21. If your regular car insurance doesn t cover you outside your home country or when driving a rental, plan to pay for your car with a credit card that guarantees coverage. Otherwise, expect to pay approximately EC$40/US$15 per day for additional collision and liability insurance.
