You arrive on a warm Atlantic morning and the island opens like a map under sunlight — steep green ridges slide down toward the sea and the Pitons jut upward, an immediate challenge to the sky. The drive toward Soufriere threads through banana groves and small fishing villages; salt air and river terraces alternate with fumes drifting from the Sulphur Springs, a living reminder of volcanic origins.
