For my 50th birthday, a group of friends and I visited St. Lucia for a week, minus one day, thanks to American Airlines. While most of our trip was focused around water sports and enjoying the amazing food and accommodations at Anse Chastenet, I really wanted to hike the Gros Piton.
With the COVID outbreak in St. Lucia, the regulations consistently changed. About a month before our arrival, the rules kept the guests from leaving the resort. Fortunately, the restrictions lightened up, and we could be escorted from Anse Chastenet to the Gros Piton by an official driver from the property. Of course, I suspect our excursion cost a lot more than if we did it ourselves, but at least we got to take the guided hike up the Gros Piton.
HAPPY HIKING!
