Trekking through Grenada’s paradise island

The people of Grenada all seem to have spirited gifts. Maybe it stems from the love they feel for their country and the relaxed laid-back lifestyles they share.

The paradisiacal island is located in the Eastern Caribbean, just 100 miles north of Venezuela.

It boasts 440 picturesque square kilometres, one sixth of which is preserved as parks and natural wildlife sanctuaries.

As well as being the island’s central focal point, Grand Etang National Park is home to a 13-acre lake in a volcanic crater 1,740 feet above sea level. It also has numerous hikes leading to Seven Sisters Waterfalls.

Abundant flora that embrace the routes. Towering mahoganies and giant gommier trees unite with broad-leafed ferns and vine-draped Fijis.

Bunches of bamboo shoot skyward like piles of pick-up sticks, trunks of banyan trees fan out like well-played accordions and countless towering palm fronds billow above in the sultry breeze.

As well as hosting opossums, armadillos, mongoose and Mona monkeys, lush vegetation provides shelter for frogs and chameleon-like lizards that can grow up to four feet long.
