The Forestiere Trail is only twenty (20) minutes drive away from the city
of Castries, situated in the community of Forestiere and offers a
nature walk.
The Trail is part of an Old French Road which
traverses through pristine rainforest.

|
Perhaps some of the most distinctive features on this trail are the abundance
of large spectacular fig trees, epiphytes and ferns.
This 5 km (3 miles) long trail begins as a gentle slope through natural
dense foliage meandering among L'encens trees (Protium attenuatum) that produces
a white sap with a highly pungent smell.

Also common is the majestic Chataignier tree, which is supported by a system of elegant buttresses spreading around its base like the gentle folds of a regal gown.
