Quick Facts
Morne Trois Pitons National Park - UNESCO World Heritage Site
Sanctuary Rainforest Eco Resort and Spa is located in Laudat, near well-known sites like the Middleham Falls, Titou Gorge, the Boeri Lake and the Fresh Water Lake.
The Boeri Lake, located just about 2.5 to 3 miles from the village of Laudat, is a body of fresh water located in the Morne Trois Pitons National Park. Sitting in the crater of an old volcano, at an elevation of 2,800 ft between Morne Micotrin and Morne Trois Pitons, the Boeri Lake is ideal for experiencing Dominica’s diverse fauna and flora, montane forests and elfin woodlands.
“Titou Gorge”, the French Creole name meaning “Little Throat” is a wonderful tourist attraction in Dominica. It was created by volcanic lava which cooled and split open over time, forming a natural cave into which bathers swim. Located near the village of Laudat, the Titou Gorge offers an ideal experience and possibility for adventure.
The Fresh Water Lake is located at about 2,500 ft above sea level, about 2 miles away from the Laudat village. The Freshwater Lake is the second largest body of fresh water in Dominica, and has been dammed to provide water used to generate electricity for the island.
