Mount Edmund Forest Reserve is located high up on the island uplands, near the Enbas Saut Waterfalls Trail. The hikes through the reserve are guided by rangers from the Forest and Lands Department, who are in charge of its maintenance and can point out the exotic plants you see or birds that you hear, such as the Saint Lucia parrot. The hike, which is about 7 miles long and takes about 3 hours each way, will take you through the Quilesse Forest Reserve, ending at the Des Cartiers Rain Forest Trail. The trail is surrounded by a tunnel of huge trees and you will be passing through verdant valleys and towering waterfalls. The tropical forest is rich in orchids, bromeliads, and ferns. The path feels spongy and soft, full of decades’ worth of decomposing wet leaves. There are hanging vines everywhere with colorful beautiful blooms. Take your time and enjoy the rainforest in all its glory.
