The Pitons in Saint Lucia are a pair of striking volcanic spires located near the town of Soufrière. They consist of Gros Piton and Petit Piton, which rise majestically from the Caribbean Sea and are connected by the Piton Mitan ridge. These iconic landmarks are part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognized for their geological significance and breathtaking natural beauty. Gros Piton, the larger of the two, stands at 798 meters, while Petit Piton reaches 743 meters. The area surrounding the Pitons is rich in biodiversity, featuring lush tropical forests, rare plant species, and a variety of wildlife.
