About this experience
Get a view of the lush Mesopotamia Valley with your small-group of 5 people maximum. The panoramic view offered by the Mesopotamia Valley is
probably unsurpassed in the Caribbean. The richly fertile valley, often referred to as the “bread basket” of St. Vincent, is thickly planted with bananas, nutmeg, cocoa, coconut, breadfruit and many root crops. Mountain ridges rise all
around, Grand Bonhomme dominating at 3193ft. Rivers and streams come together at Mesopotamia to tumble down to the sea over the rocks of the Yambou Gorge.

Detailed itinerary
1
Fort Charlotte is a historic fort with spectacular views overlooking Kingstown. It is located to the west of Kingstown and perched at 600 feet overlooking the bay - a short drive from Kingstown. Constructed in 1806, Fort Charlotte was a significant fortification that housed around 600 troops and a battery of over 30 canons. The canons were mostly pointed inland, to defend against Caribs. With wonderful panoramic views of Kingstown it is certainly worth a visit.
