Morne Trois Pitons National Park

Morne Trois Pitons National Park is a protected natural area in the Caribbean island nation of Dominica, established in July 1975 as the country's first legally designated national park. The park covers approximately 68.57 square kilometers of volcanic terrain in the island's interior and was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997, recognizing its outstanding universal value as a natural landscape of significant volcanic and ecological importance. The park takes its name from Morne Trois Pitons, a mountain of three peaks reaching 1,342 meters, which stands as the second-highest summit in Dominica. The landscape is characterized by steep-sided volcanic hills, deep canyons, and dramatic waterfalls, with all major waterways of the island's southern half originating from this mountainous region. The area is one of intense geothermal activity, featuring fumaroles, hot springs, geysers, and colorful thermal streams that reflect the volcanic processes shaping the island's interior.
