St. Lucia Botanical Gardens, Botanical garden with mineral baths in Soufriere, Saint Lucia.
The Diamond Falls Botanical Gardens encompasses tropical plants, flowers, and trees alongside a mineral-rich waterfall cascading down volcanic rock formations.
Baron de Laborie constructed the gardens' Sulphur Baths in 1785 with funds from King Louis XVI of France for therapeutic purposes.
The gardens maintain a collection of Caribbean plants, including Etlingera elatior and Heliconia rostrata, representing Saint Lucia's natural heritage.
The garden operates daily from 10 AM to 4 PM with adult admission at US$7, offering guided tours and access to mineral baths.
The Diamond Waterfall changes colors throughout the day due to the mineral content in the water flowing over the rock face.
