Mesopotamia Valley This area containing fertile farmland used to grow many of the island’s crops was once part of a volcanic crater. Located north of the capital of Kingstown, this fertile valley is often referred to as the “bread- basket” of St. Vincent. Standing at the lookout platform in the village of Belmont and surveying the valley below, you cannot help but appreciate the varying shades of green that lie before you. An array of tropical plants including banana and breadfuit are part of the rolling landscape. Definitely a scene to capture on camera. Photo Credit: TripAdvisor
