Located on the southeastern coast of the Commonwealth of Dominica, Petite Soufrière is a picturesque coastal village in the parish of St. Patrick. Famous for its pristine rainforests, volcanic geological landscapes and rich ecological resources, it is located about 30 kilometers from the capital city of Roseau, with a population of less than 1,000 people, and retains a simple Caribbean island atmosphere.
With its backdrop of the Dominica Volcanic Range, Little Soufrière is surrounded by sulphur springs, rainforests and black sand beaches. The village's name, Soufrière (meaning sulfur), is derived from the geothermal activity of the nearby active volcano, and visitors can explore the volcanic vents and hot springs on foot. The area is adjacent to the Morne Trois Pitons National Park, a World Heritage Site, and is a paradise for birdwatchers and hikers.
The inhabitants are mostly dependent on agriculture and fishing, producing tropical crops such as bananas and coconuts. Traditional cultural festivals are held annually, featuring Creole music and dance. Eco-tourism has been growing in recent years, with whale watching and scuba diving, but the infrastructure is relatively simple, emphasizing the untouched nature of the area.
