Those dedicated to eco-tourism will appreciate Soufriere Sulphur Springs, a significant geologic area east of Soufriere Village. During pre-Columbian times, Sulphur Springs served as an important meeting place for the Kalinagos people from the Caribbean islands. Today, it is one of Dominica’s well-known recreational areas, where visitors can relax and rejuvenate in naturally heated mineral pools. The crystalline Glo Gayak stream is thought of as healing water, and local residents often drink small amounts of the fresh water as a cleanse. The turbid waters of the Glo Cho stream form the basis for the warm mineral baths, also with healing properties. Waters from the Glo Cho are diverted into four man-made pools. Water temperatures vary throughout the year, with temperatures being higher in rainy season, and lower in dry season. Visitors will find a few helpful amenities here, including changing rooms, picnic facilities, hiking trails, and a visitor information center.
