Named after St. Lucia’s national bird, Jacquot, or Amazona Versicolor parrot, the Jacquot Trial immerses hikers in the wonders of the island’s best asset, nature.
Begin a gradual ascent into the mature Caribbean forest and get up close and personal with the mighty chatannier, an impressive hardwood with expansive buttress root system or incredible strangler ficus which grows around the host tree in an interlocking lattice pattern before it replaces it entirely.
