Sulphur Springs
Holidays in St Lucia aren’t complete without a visit to this incredible volcano. Though it is expected to erupt in less than a century, for the moment this is an important attraction of Saint Lucia. Sulphur Springs is the only “drive-through” volcano in the world, and that means you can literally visit it by car – drive very to the edge of the springs.

If you want to really experience the local feeling, to see how various dishes are made, to capture Saint Lucia’s specific, then this is the place to go. You’ll be able to see here how crayfish are caught in the river, how to prepare cassava bread, or how to cook macambou leaves, and many more.
The Pitons
The two peaks are the island’s landmark and also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. They can be admired from various places, so you probably won’t miss them.
