Führungen dauern in der Regel ungefähr 2 Stunden pro Strecke, und die Länge und der Höhenunterschied machen die Wanderung für Kinder, ältere Menschen oder Kranke nicht ratsam. Wanderer, die versuchen, die Reise alleine zu machen, haben Komplikationen gemeldet. Treffen Sie daher Vorsichtsmaßnahmen, um sich auf schlecht markierte Wege, Dschungelbedingungen und riesige Felsen und Felsbrocken vorzubereiten.
Mount Liamuiga is located on the northwestern part of the island, about 3.7 miles (6 km) from the village of Newton Ground. Guided tours usually start hiking from Newton Ground or St. Paul. If renting a car, tell your driver to stop at either village and begin your hike from there.
The best time to visit Mt. Liamuiga is during December to April when there is little rainfall and the weather is less humid. If you prefer traveling during the shoulder season, visit in June and July for the St. Kitts Music Festival and the Nevis Culturama, a vibrant festival highlighting the culture and folklore of the islands.
On a hill overlooking the northwest coast of the island, Brimstone Hill Fortress is a well-preserved historic fortification. The structure was designed by the British and built by African slaves in the 17th century and used interchangeably by the British and French forces that captured the island. Dubbed "The Gibraltar of the Caribbean," the fortress was in full use until its abandonment in the 1850s, and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999.
