Antigua and Barbuda's only donkey Sanctuary, where donkeys recieve food and medical care. The sanctuary is maintained by the kind and generous contributions of loving sponsors like you. The donkeys within the enclosure enjoy attention, and like being brushed. There's also a shelter for homeless cats and dogs and the occasional goat or two!

Stop 6
In spite of it's name, Devil's bridge is a naturally beautiful limestone feature that is being constantly carved by the erosive action of the Atlantic Ocean. During the days of slavery, it was believed that the 'Devil' lived there because of the innocent souls that he lured to their death (slaves deliberately ended their lives by jumping off of the Bridge). Today, local and foreign visitors stand in awe of its beauty.
