Adventurous travelers will find Dominica’s most popular hiking trail, the Syndicate Nature Trail, in the northern mountain ranges of Morne Diablotin National Park. The park was created specifically to protect the habitat of the island’s two endemic parrots, including the sisserou, Dominica’s national bird. Although the park was named after the black-capped petrel, otherwise known as the diablotin (because of its devilish sounding call), it is unlikely visitors will encounter one. Rare sightings may occur on mountain cliff faces. Morne Diablotin is a natural bird watching destination due to the variety of bird species – 18 in total. There is also a strenuous trail leading to the summit of Morne Diablotin, only for the hardiest of adventurers.
