Founded in 1969 by Anne Jno Baptiste and Burl Grey, Papillote Tropical Gardens is located east of the village of Trafalgar in the foothills of Morne Micotrin on the Nature Island of Dominica.
Perched on a steep, rain-forested mountain slope a thousand feet above the sea, the 14-acre grounds of Papillote Tropical Gardens include 4 acres of developed trails, two waterfalls and natural volcanic hot mineral springs and bathing pools.
Completely demolished by Hurricane David in 1979, the gardens of Papillote (pronounced PAP-ee-ott) have since been re-established as one of the most impressive botanical collections in the region, with more than 100 genera represented by over 600 individual species.
The gardens continue to be a 'work in progress,' developed, nurtured and enhanced by its founder.
"This was the best waterfall we visited, way better than Emerald Pool. A cool but challenging hike through the river (bring your water shoes) and over large boulders. The fall is very powerful (feels like you are in a hurricane), but you can swim pretty close to it. Lots of other beautiful pools and scenery along the hike."
