Tet Paul Nature Trail

Before leaving for college, I made it my duty to revisit some of my favourite spots on island and this time I took my family to spend a day at Tet Paul Nature Trail.

Tet Paul is a light walk nature trail just about 45 minutes long that almost anyone can complete. I was accompanied by my extended family including my five-year-old cousin and 85-year-old grandma.

Just about 10-minute drive from the main town, Tet Paul comprises of a walk through a flower garden, view of a typical '80s Saint Lucian house, flight of stairs called Stairway to Heaven, trail carved out of boulders and rocks to make for a slightly rough terrain and one of the best views in Saint Lucia.

It was a little challenging steading our breaths and ensuring everyone was doing good while climbing, but being able to reach the very top felt like such an accomplishment for everyone.

At the top we were able to view one of the most breath-taking sights, not one, but both Pitons; Gros Piton and Petit Piton, feel the cool breeze hit our faces, view the luscious vegetation down below, cloudy blue sky and breathe in fresh, clean air.

It was such an experience being able to visit this location with my entire family, take pictures which appeared like our fingers were touching the top of the Pitons and just simply having fun.
