The Pitons are two mountainous peaks located on the Caribbean island of Saint Lucia. They are located near the town of Soufrière and are some of the most recognizable landmarks in the Caribbean. The Pitons are considered to be a UNESCO World Heritage Site and are a popular tourist attraction due to their natural beauty and unique geology. The two peaks, Gros Piton and Petit Piton, rise dramatically from the sea and offer breathtaking views of the surrounding area. Visitors can hike to the top of either peak for an even more impressive view, and many people also enjoy exploring the nearby lush rainforest and warm Caribbean waters.
