St. Kitts and Nevis is a federal island nation located in the eastern part of the Caribbean Sea, consisting of the islands of St. Kitts and Nevis. Monkey Mountain is not a city in the country, but a famous natural attraction on the island of St. Kitts, located in the northwestern mountains at an altitude of about 319 meters.
Monkey Mountain is known for its thriving population of green monkeys, descended from a West African species introduced by European colonizers in the 17th century. The area is covered in tropical rainforest with rich biodiversity, including a wide variety of birds and tropical plants, making it a popular destination for eco-tourism and trekking.
Visitors can experience hiking trails, monkey watching and ocean views overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Nearby is Brimstone Hill Fort National Park (a World Heritage Site), which combines historic sites with natural beauty to create a unique tourist dynamic. An annual cultural festival showcasing traditional Creole music and cuisine is held in the area.
Monkey Mountain is close to the capital city of Basseterre, about 20 minutes by car. The country has a mild climate and is best visited during the dry season (December-April). International travelers can arrive via Robert Llewellyn Bradshaw Airport and enter visa-free with a passport.
