About
The Enbas Saut Trail is a rainforest hiking route in the Edmund Forest Reserve, close to Soufrière on the west coast of Saint Lucia. It is also known as the Edmund Forest Reserve Trail, and it suits visitors who want to spend a few hours walking among trees rather than seeing a single sight.
What to expect on the walk
The trail leads through tropical forest toward waterfalls and natural pools. The setting is green and shaded for much of the way, with the sounds of the forest around you. Walkers who pay attention will notice a range of plant life, including endemic species, and the forest is home to tropical birds. Bring sturdy footwear, water and a rain layer, since the forest is wet and the ground can be slippery.
Who it suits
- Hikers and nature lovers who enjoy rainforest walks
- Birdwatchers and anyone interested in tropical plants
- Visitors looking for a swim in natural pools at the end of the walk
Around Soufrière
Soufrière is a small town with a harbour and a historic centre, and it makes a good base for the day. Combining the forest walk with time in the town gives a balanced visit: the quiet of the reserve in the morning and the coastal streets and local food in the afternoon.
