This wonderfully scenic hike takes around 3 hours each way to complete. The trail climbs and descends through forested highlands, via Titou Gorge, Breakfast River, Panorama viewpoint and the Valley of Desolation, where steam and boiling water surface through numerous vents and from where the Boiling Lake can be seen steaming in the distance.Dominica's Boiling Lake is a unique natural attraction, the second largest of its kind in the world after that at Rotorua in New Zealand's north island. It occurs at an altitude of 2,500 feet and is situated in Dominica's UNESCO World Heritage Site - The Morne Trois Pitons National Park. The only way to reach it is on foot. The trail from the village of Laudat covers a distance of approx. 7 miles and must not be attempted unless in the company of a qualified hiking guide.
