The Waitukubuli National Trail Project is an exciting undertaking which encompasses 114 miles of trail spanning and twisting the length of Dominica. From Scotts Head in the south, right up to Capuchin in the north, the trail winds from one end of Dominica to the other. Along the way it will take you through coastal villages, up woodland hills, into lush rainforest, past waterfalls, down to rivers, back up to the mountains and then down again. Dominica's unique and varied terrain will reveal her age-old secrets to you...
You will learn about Dominica's history as you pass through traditional Carib villages, the ruins of 18th Century French settlements, the renovated Fort Shirley, secret 'Maron' passages where runaway slaves escaped and more interesting historical and natural sites.
The fourteen trail segments are open, altough work is on-going on crossings, shelters and signage. The entire trail project is expected to officially launch in 2011. Watch the video below to experience some of the trail!
