Latille Waterfalls and Gardens (St. Lucia)

Weather…

Latille Waterfalls and Gardens is a serene, privately-owned nature sanctuary located on the lush windward coast of Saint Lucia, near Micoud. This eco-tourism destination gives a tranquil alternative to the island's more crowded attractions, centering around a beautiful waterfall that drops 20 feet into a refreshing natural swimming hole surrounded by dense tropical foliage. A highlight for many visitors is the natural 'fish pedicure' experience found in the property's gentle river streams, where small river fish nibble away dry skin in a unique therapeutic encounter. The expansive gardens are a horticultural delight, featuring an array of tropical fruit trees, flowering shrubs, and local herbs including cocoa, nutmeg, and avocado, all grown using organic methods. Winding trails lead guests through secondary growth rainforest, providing glimpses of the island’s bustling birdlife and diverse plant species. Latille stands as a testament to sustainable land management, offering an intimate educational experience that connects visitors with the island's rich agricultural heritage and natural beauty.
