"Kiss and Make Up in Antigua and Barbuda" offers great summer rates and a range of special packages that include air, accommodations, concert tickets and other entertainment. Visitors can also enjoy a $100 credit to be used towards this romantic experience. Getting to Antigua and Barbuda just got easier! Delta Airlines will begin non-stop service from New York's JFK on June 12 with service on Thursdays and Sundays.
Singles, couples, honeymooners, and anyone looking to rekindle their relationship can enjoy great savings and an intimate opportunity to be pampered, sample exotic cuisine, experience unique heritage and cultural attractions. The entire destination will be transformed into a love shack with two main concerts at the scenic Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, as well as mini concerts at other intimate settings throughout the twin islands. The impressive line-up of performers includes Lionel Richie and Kenny Rogers, with other performances by Brian McKnight, Keyshia Cole, Shaggy and Maxi Priest. (close) |

You enter a path from the beach, skirting the edge of a spooky swamp through dead grey trees (victims of Luis), and then enter lush greenery. As the plants close over you, cutting off the sun, you notice the cool shade and the birds. Regular Anguillian plants that you expect to find at 6” to 24” high are now 6’ to 12’ high. I won’t spoil the surprise by telling all the details of this hike—only suggest you wear good runners or hiking boots, be prepared to climb a hill, and take a flashlight.
To experience the jungle, go to Katouche Bay (between Crocus Bay and Road Bay/Sandy Ground on the north side). From The Valley, go up Coronation Blvd to Crocus Hill. Turn left at Lloyd’s Hotel (the old Cottage Hospital is on the right). Follow the paved road until it ends, then continue on the main dirt road to Masara Resort. Drive through the resort, down a steep one-lane road to the beach and park. Walk down to the beach; go left about 40 yards and turn left away from the beach. You should find a path that skirts the right edge of a large pond.
Anguilla has a jungle. It is in the Katouche Valley. [Click to enlarge jungle path] [Click for larger view of pond] All the dead trees and stumps among the new growth are reminders of Hurricane Luis, which destroyed all the vegetation in this valley for about 100 yards from the sea.
The valley is full of lush greenery. Anguillian plants that you are 2' high are 6' to 20' high in this valley. There are also bamboo plants, land crabs, and airplants. Partway up the path, there is an interesting old well on the right.
Katouche Valley is private property belonging to Thomakaty Link Ltd, View Fort, PO Box 42, The Valley. Apply to them for permission to hike in it. (close) |
