    I walked that path so many times on my way to Tafia River reservoir, the source of the Capuchin water supply. I never had a hint of what was above or below me. Thanks Elton for that photo.

      Looks like this photo was taken by a camera mounted on a Drone. Be careful what you do in your backyard….”Big Brother” is watching.

    I may be wrong but this area looks like Capuchin.

    This picture bring back fond memories of my trip to Dominica last month. My wife and I went to that spot at the Waitikuli National Trail (the clearing at the tip). This is a perfect spot for a picnic. Great view of one of the French islands in the distance. Only thing is getting there – lots of going up and down hills and sharp turns in the road.

    This is one of my favorite spots in DA.

    I supposed you meant capuchin. Because cashacou is Scott’s Head and it’s all the way down south.

    Come on!! What is wrong with the dissemination of truthful/factual information?
    My child had to observe…is it “CAPUCHIN”??…or Cashacou??(correct spelling?)

    :?: :?: I thought the most northern tip of Dominica was Capuchin; hence the saying Capuchin (north) to Cashacou (south). Please correct your labelling. Thanks

    Please note that the northern tip is not Cashacou! This is the term for Scotts Head!
