The Rainforest of Martinique

Jardin of Balata is up the mountains towards St. Pierre, the highest elevation of Martinique.  This peak was responsible for wiping out the former capital city, St. Pierre at the turn of the 20th century.  Just one man, a prisoner, survived.

Today, Balata Gardens offer visitors an opportunity to see the mountain from close proximity and the amazing flora that pervades this part of the island.
