Le Morne Brabant Hike

Why locals love it

Le Morne Brabant mountain is a cultural landmark. It was the refuge for runaway slaves, and the tragic spot where many committed suicide from fear of being caught. Public access to the mountain has been granted in 2016, after a long legal battle with private land owners to climb this UNESCO world heritage site.
