St. Kitts and Nevis are two small islands located in the heart of the Caribbean, separated by a narrow 2-mile strait. St. Kitts, the island on which Basseterre is located, is lush and green with tropical rainforests and abandoned sugar cane plantations slowly going wild. Creatures like the mongoose and green vervet monkey call this island home. The dormant volcano of Mount Liamuiga stands proud watch over its domain.
Basseterre, the capital, is a small city of 35,000 people with a mixed English and French heritage and a long, storied history. Despite having been destroyed many times by war, fire, earthquakes, floods, and hurricanes, Basseterre manages to capture the hearts of visitors with its picturesque colonial houses, quaint shops, and vibrant life.
