You step off the vehicle into a humid breeze and the ground beneath seems alive — warm steam threads up from fissures, and the guide's voice frames the ridge ahead as both route and story. The short hike climbs through scrub and old sugar-plantation terraces to viewpoints that open on the volcanic valley and the twin Pitons in the distance, while the sulphur-scented earth quietly asserts its presence.
