Summary:
An island 26 million years old, Dominica is called the baby of the Caribbean. She is the youngest island in the East Caribbean, named Dominica for Christopher Columbus first discovered her.
The uncompromising beauty of the islands' rolling hills, dynamic sharpness of her terrain, secluded coastlines, virgin woods will actually make you feel as if you are at the end of the world. Actually, this was the way things were in the beginning.
From sea level to peaks of almost 5,000 feet, there are 12 major waterfalls, six varieties of tropical forest and a river for everyday of the year. There are more shades of green in Dominica than you ever thought existed and more pristine flora than any guide book could catalog. Virgin flora covers these dramatic mountains, creating swaths of verdant landscapes.

Culture:
Their rich cultural heritage comes from their West African, Carib, French and English influences. The Carib Indians, Dominica's indigenous people, properly known as the Kalinago, were the original inhabitants of the island and have a 3.700 acre territory on Dominica's east coast. When visiting, one is spiritually transported to another world, centuries back into a cool, calm place with the most beautiful group of people, amidst the straw huts and baskets made by the best artisans. The creole dress is worn to-day as their National Costume, Madras and Tete Case headresses and the cotton fabrics so coloufully combined look wonderful.
