Devil's Peak Switchbacks

in #adventure3 years ago

The best section of road we found in Dominica. The 20 year old van that we hired to drive around almost could not make it up these switchbacks. The road heads up Morne Aux Diables (also known as Devil's Peak) and is carpeted iridescent green as the exposed mountainsides of the interior of Dominica receive up to 9,000 mm (354.3 inches) of rain per year. Yep that’s a crazy 9 meters (almost 30 feet) of rain per year! Spot our white van making its way up the mountain! (Nb Dominica is not the Dominican Republic !)

Looks like a rally car dream XD And somewhat of a nightmare for me though I think I prefer that to city driving as long as there's no hoons :D
