Pic du Paradis and Loterie Farm

By Lisa Mullins Bishop, Caribbean Edge Staff Writer

At 1,400 feet, Pic du Paradise, or Paradise Peak, is the highest point on the island of St. Martin. Near the foot of the mountain is Loterie Farm, St. Martin’s only private nature reserve. Opened to the public in 1999, this 150-acre former sugar plantation affords a rare look at a Caribbean rainforest. Here you’ll see ancient mango trees, the famous Guavaberry trees, and hundred of species of tropical plants and trees. Visitors can choose to explore this nature preserve solo, with a guide, on horseback, or by mountain bike. Once you’ve experienced the nature preserve’s treasures, stop in at the Hidden Forest Cafe on the grounds of the preserve for a quick bit to eat. The Cafe serves lunch and dinner.
