The forest trails of Saint Lucia, some well travelled, some secret, are no less magical. Their thick trees and shrubbery, their steep or gently rounded hillrocks are a hideaway for wildlife. But they were just as protective for the ancient Indians and later runaway Coramantee slaves who wanted to establish villages far from the madding crowd and rewrite their own stories. These major forest trails have all the magic minus the danger.
