🏘️ Laudat

Laudat is a small village in the interior of Dominica, located between three mountains: Morne Watt, Morne Micotrine, and Morne Trois Pitons. With a population of just above 300 people, Laudat is referred to as a "gateway" because it is the sole entry point to many of the island's sights, including the Boiling Lake, Fresh Water Lake, and Titou Gorge. Perched about 1200 feet above sea level, Laudat has a cool climate and views of the Caribbean Sea. It is located approximately 20 minutes from the capital, Roseau, and is at the end of the road. The road to Laudat used to be a hair-raising ride up the mountains, around blind hairpin turns with sharp drop-offs into the jungle canopy; however, the road has been improved and may be completed by the time of this writing.
