We were chuffed to be asked to do this sponsored post for the Essence of Saint Lucia tour. As always, our aim at Island Effect is to be an excellent, trusty guide for you, so all opinions are our own!
Barefoot Holidays – ‘Essence of St. Lucia’
Barefoot Holiday’s new Essence of Saint Lucia tour gives you a wonderful, thoroughly enjoyable insight into St. Lucian life in the days gone by.
Sights, scents and tastes
Heritage House is located on the lush Greenwood Terrace, at the top of Choc Hill in the north of Saint Lucia – easily reached from all hotels in the north of St. Lucia.
Travel through time and witness relics from the island’s first settlers, the ‘Amerindians’, Colonial Era creole traditional wear and artifacts like the ‘Platene’ used in making farine and a creole bread oven.
You’ll wander through the medicinal herb garden, filled with fascinating plants and vibrant flowers and learn about the local medicinal uses. Enthusiastic tour guides create the perfect mixture of knowledge and fun as they tell the stories behind quirky plant names like the ‘Mother-in-Law’s Tongue’ and the ‘Monkey’s Tail’.
The tour ends with a refreshing tasting session of fresh fruits picked from the garden, traditional h’ordeuvres and local rums: A great way to round off!
After the Essence of Saint Lucia tour experience, I felt like I’d been on an exciting journey of discovery of the history and tradition that makes St. Lucia what it is today!
