The first Europeans who tried to land on Grenada were English sailors, who arrived in 1609, but they were chased away by the Caribs.
One of the most exciting sightseeing tours around Santa Lucia is a visit Qualibou, the only volcano to access to in the nighttime. Located in southeastern Soufrière, this particular location boasts a sulfurous-water spring and roughly 20 ponds giving out a very peculiar reek. Not far from here, the famous Pitons Peaks jut out, commonly known as The Little (916 meters high) and The Thick (861 meters high). A special mention goes to the area's tropical jungle, the cradle of huge valleys and breathtaking mountains. Soufrieré counts on good lodging, top-rated gourmet and a great variety of restaurants. As far as the beaches are concerned, Anse Chastanet is the most famous of all and a sought-after destination among scuba divers. Under the sea, schools of colorful fish pack a spectacular wallop. Anse Cochon, along the Caribbean coastline, shows off black-sand beaches visitors can only get to by boat. Jalousie Bay, south of Soufrière, is a gully travelers can also reach out to by boat.
