If you have a four-wheel-drive vehicle or want to hike, it s possible to continue past Pennville, around the tip of the island, to Capucin Cape on the northwest coast. The landscape and views are marvelous. Plans are being made to pave a road through the forest, but for now, this area offers excellent hiking. Allow about three hours to reach Capucin on foot.
Sometime around 1000 AD, groups of South American warriors invaded and overpowered the Arawaks. These people, whom we now call Caribs, built villages controlled by chiefs and obtained food by hunting and fishing. In their native language, they called their new home Wai tukubuli, which meant tall is her body, and referred to the island s towering mountains that jut steeply out of the ocean.
