UNESCO World Heritage Site
Dominica has one site inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list.
Morne Trois Pitons National Park (1997)
On the slopes of a volcano, this natural area renowned for its flora is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The landscape is spectacular, with lakes—some of boiling water—gorges, waterfalls, and small geysers you can hike among.

Morne Diablotin National Park
A vast volcanic natural area surrounding the island's summit in its northern part. Like much of central Dominica, the place is ideal for hiking in a wild setting.
