Historic Capital City
The capital city, Roseau, is surrounded by the Caribbean Sea, the Roseau River, and Morne Bruce, and is built on the site of the ancient Kalinago Indian village of Sairi. The quaint town is a picturesque array of 18th century French architecture, and is small enough to be easily explored on foot.
The oldest part of town is around Old Market Square, formerly the original slave market. The Old Market square is now a vibrant craft vendors’ market for cruise and other visitors.

Splendor of Nature in its Rawest Form
The second largest of its kind in the world, Boiling Lake is a flooded fumarole from a volcano in the area known as the Valley of Desolation — words that seem to describe life on another planet but which perfectly capture what you’ll find if you’re daring enough.
200 feet wide and its depth unknown, the lake is enveloped by swirling clouds of vapor and resembles a cauldron of furiously bubbling greyish-blue water superheated from the molten magma below the surface of the surrounding rock.
The awe of Boiling Lake is surpassed only by the breathtaking vistas that surround it—with clear views of the ocean, the neighboring island of Martinique, and timeless terrain shaped by erosive and volcanic forces of nature over 200 millions years in the making. The surrounding area is also home to some of the hardiest creatures on the planet — small lizards and a few species of insects
