Explore St. Vincent

BOTANICAL GARDEN: The St. Vincent Botanical Gardens are the oldest in the Western Hemisphere and they occupy 20 acres of land one mile out of Kingstown. Conservation of rare species has been practiced since the gardens were founded in 1765. There are many collections with tropical trees, palms, lilies, hibiscus and bouganvillea. Mention must be made of the mangosteen, reputed to be the best tasting fruit in the world. Recently many conifers, cypresses and pines have been added.
Among the tropical trees there is a bread fruit brought by Captain Bligh of the Bounty, in 1793. FALLS OF BALEINE: Are among St. Vincent finest natural wonders. It is a single stage fall of about 60 feet that create a fresh water pool. Actually access to the pool is prohibited because of falling rocks.

FORT CHARLOTTE: Completed in 1806, give a magnificent view across Kingstown and the Grenadines.

LA SOUFRIERE: In the North region of the island, this still active volcano rises to over 1200 mt. and last eruption was in April 1979. The nature trail is about 3.5 miles long starting in the rain forest, crossing a bamboo forest and taking you through banana and coconut plantations . The hike is for the energetic and start very early in the morning, you will reach the crater after 2 hours walking. Located near the base of La Souf riere, there is one of the largest single coconut estates in the world (3200 acres), Rabacca Farms. It is also a considerable producer of bananas, citrus fruits, spices and aubergine.

VERMONT NATURE TRAILS: The trails start near the top of Buccament Valley and lead through tropical rain forest, where there is the chance to see St. Vincent parrot (Amazona Guildingii), strictly protected nationally and internationally. This is the habitat for the Black Hawk, Cocoa Thrush, Crested Hummingbird, Green Heron and several other interesting species.

TRINITY FALLS: This waterfall is set in a deep volcanic canyon. The tour to the Falls from Kingstown involves two hors drive plus 20 minutes hiking through the rain forest. Trinity Falls is the most beautiful waterfall in St.

History of St Vincent

The country's first known inhabitants were Arawaks, later driven out by Caribs; the latter put up a strong resistance to European colonisation. Columbus sighted the principal island on 22 January 1498, and named it after the saint whose feast falls on that day. No immediate European immigration followed his discovery. In 1627 Charles I of England granted the island to Lord Carlisle, but no settlers arrived. Charles II granted it to Lord Willoughby in 1672; possession was disputed by the British, French and Spanish. All these claims were resisted by the Caribs. The Caribs did not, however, oppose the settlement of a shipload of enslaved Africans who escaped after a shipwreck in 1673, and in due course seem to have merged with the Carib community through intermarriage. In 1773, under an Anglo/Carib treaty, the Caribs were allowed to continue to live independently in the north of the island.

France took the island in 1779, but restored it to Britain in 1783, under the Treaty of Versailles. There was a Carib revolution in 1795 96, with some French help from Martinique; when this had been crushed, the rebels were deported to the island of Roatan in the Bay of Honduras. In 1812 La Soufriere erupted and devastated much of the island, on which a plantation economy, based on slave labour, produced sugar, cotton, coffee and cocoa. After the emancipation of slaves by Britain in 1833, indentured labour from the East Indies and from Portugal was brought in to remedy the labour shortage.

In the second half of the 19th century sugar slumped and a depression lasted until the end of the century. A series of natural disasters followed: a hurricane, and also a further eruption of La Soufriere in 1902 which devastated the northern half of the island and killed 2,000 people.

St Vincent and the Grenadines being a small agricultural country, the move to full independence started relatively late, after the break up of the West Indies Federation, of which it had been a member, in 1962. Universal adult suffrage to vote for the Executive Council had been gained in 1951, and internal self government was achieved in 1969, when the country became a self governing state in association with Britain. Full independence came in October 1979.
