The slightest mention of the Caribbean inevitably conjures images of island life, but the region has so much more to offer than rum and beaches. An adventurer’s paradise, the Caribbean island of Dominica is nicknamed “Nature Island” because of the abundance of exotic plants and animals that live in its numerous rain forests and national parks. If your ideal island adventure includes bird watching while jumping off pristine waterfalls and cooling off after playing on the beach by exploring rain forests in search of hidden lakes, then it’s time for a fundamental shift of thinking: Dominica is your new Caribbean.
But instead of taking our word for it, why not go there yourself? Wend, in partnership with Adventure to Dominica and Ahnu shoes, is currently giving away a paid trip for two to Dominica. The trip includes airfare from the US or Canada and 5 days/4 nights with Calibishi Lodges and Rainforest Shangri-La Resort, two of the island’s premier hotels. The grand prize winner will also receive two passes to the Rain Forest Aerial Tram. All you have to do is send us the photo that best showcases your adventurous spirit.
Entering is easy. Just dust off your picture albums and find the one that best showcases your adventurous spirit. Whether it’s the photo from your bike ride along the ridges of the Ala Too mountains in Central Asia, the shot of you standing at the trailhead of your favorite local hiking spot, or one that you shoot specifically for this contest, we want to see your adventurous spirit in action.
Each week we will pick our favorite photos and post them here and on the Wend Magazine blog. Weekly winners will get a pair of shoes from Ahnu. We will post the finalists on June 1st and for the next two weeks readers will vote (in the comment section) on their favorite photo. The contestant whose photo gets the most votes wins the trip to Dominica. Contest Winners will be announced June 15.
