La Soufriere Cross Country Trail in St. Vincent, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
The La Soufriere Cross Country Trail winds its way from sea level up to the top of the majestic La Soufriere Volcano (4048ft/ 1178m). Granite cliffs reach for the sky, giving way to sweeping valleys and deep gorges and eventually the immense volcanic crater. The walk to the crater is moderately difficult, and takes about two hours uphill from the windward side.
The La Soufriere Cross Country Trail snakes across the width of St Vincent, and can be walked from either the leeward or windward coast. The total trail is approximately 15 km long and offers visitors breath-taking panoramic views of the surrounding land and seascape and close encounters with fauna.
The easiest and most popular walk is a return trip to the crater from the windward (east) side, which begins at the Rabacca trail head near Georgetown - this takes about two hours to get to the summit, and is about 6 km long. The walk is moderately difficult, and a guide is mandatory for visitors. Visitors should be careful at the summit, it is often covered in thick cloud which makes it cold, and the edge of the crater difficult to see. It is recommended that hikers begin in the morning, to give enough time to appreciate the views and get back down before dark.
The leeward approach is longer and more difficult and the trail is more overgrown. Keen hikers can walk the whole trail from coast to coast – about a 6 hour walk. At the summit, there is a small and difficult trail down into the crater which will add an extra two hours to the hike. Please note that the trails do not begin at towns or villages, so it is important to organise transport before you hike.
Biodiversity
The La Soufriere Cross Country Trail is awash with a wide diversity of plants, birdlife and other fauna. Rugged and enchanting landscapes, mild temperatures, fertile volcanic soils and abundant rainfall give rise to a profusion of growth of Coastal Scrub, Montane Forest, Palm Brake and Elfin
Woodland. Floral species of note include the abundant Spanish Ash, Gunstock, Sweetwood, and the endemics: Begonia rotundifolia, the Melastome Tibouchina cistoides, the epiphytic Peperomia cuneata and P vincentinum and the Giant Tree fern.
Designated by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area in the Caribbean, the volcano’s slopes support populations of forest bird species including rare sightings of the St Vincent Parrot, theWhistling warbler, the endemic race of House Wren, Rufous-throated Solitaire, Purple-throated Carib, Broad-wing hawk, and the Mountain dove. Reptilian species include the endemic lizards and the endemic Red-legged Tree Frog. The Agouti and Oppossum are among the mammals that can be seen from the trail.

Trip to La Soufriere (Dormant Volcano), St.Vincent
On Sunday May 29,2016, I had the opportunity of journeying to La, Soufriere. La Soufriere is a dormant Volcano on the island of St.Vincent in the Island state of St.Vincent and the Grenadines. This trip was very special. It was the first time (and the last) that I climbed down into the crater of the volcano. It was an amazing (living life on the edge literally) experience. The trek there is not an easy one but I am thanking God that I am alive and able to recount. If you are fit and love adventure then a climb of La Soufriere is something that you must do. I hope you enjoy my video of my experience.
