Wonders of Saint Kitts and Nevis
  Highlights
These two islands in fact are two volcanoes rising from the Caribbean. In spite of their small size, Saint Kitts and Nevis have been important and well-fortified sugar-producing colonies.
Today there are left impressive forts, historical buildings… and a gruesome landmark to the cruelty of white colonists – Bloody River.
