Dominica’s most iconic natural wonder is the Boiling Lake, the second-largest hot spring in the world.
The Sacred Valley, located in the Andes and divided by Urubamba River, was part of the larger Inca Empire, along with Machu Picchu and the closeby town of Cusco. Tourists will see green agricultural landscapes and Spanish hamlets like Ollantaytambo and Pisac, the latter featuring a Sunday market.

Castries, St. Lucia's capital and a busy port city, is an idyllic Caribbean wonderland. Tourists will find craft and fruit markets, photo-ready murals and a general cozy charm here. One must-do activity is getting to the top Morne Fortune (Hill of Good Luck) to drink in the lovely panoramic views.

Anguilla is a level coral atoll with abundant breath-taking beaches. The name comes from the Spanish word for eel, named apparently because of the island's long, narrow profile. The most northerly of the Leeward Islands in the eastern Caribbean, Anguilla is 16 miles (25km) long and three miles (5km) wide. The highest point on the island is only 213 feet (65m) above sea level. The main town, The Valley, is found almost in the middle of the island. Most hotels and restaurants are found on the western point of the island.
