Trafalgar Falls Thermal area

The Trafalgar Falls Thermal Area in the Papillote section of Dominica's Morne Trois Pitons National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a zone of sulfurous volcanic springs and hot river sections at the base of the spectacular twin Trafalgar waterfalls, where visitors can soak in naturally warm volcanic pools while surrounded by the sound and mist of the falls. The geothermal activity at Trafalgar reflects the same volcanic forces that created Morne Trois Pitons, and the juxtaposition of dramatic cold waterfalls crashing into pools warmed by volcanic heat creates one of the most dramatic and visually arresting thermal bathing environments in the Caribbean. The area is managed within the national park, ensuring that its extraordinary geological and ecological values are protected alongside visitor access.
