Nestled under the dormant Mount Liamuiga volcano on Saint Kitts lies a crater lake, a vast playground for green vervet monkeys and a huge network of lush rainforest hiking trails – a paradise for any hiker or trekker. Across the narrow shallow waters lies Nevis with its granite churches and ageing forts, the telltale sign of a once-strong British colonial dependence.
Dotted with former sugar plantations turned inns or luxury lodges, traditional rustic restaurants and local street vendors, St Kitts and Nevis represents a more traditional Caribbean experience that time forgot.
