“Did anyone pack bug spray?” a worried voice might ask at the base of Boggy Peak. Thankfully, that shouldn’t be a concern! Boggy Peak, standing tall at 402 meters, isn’t just the highest point in Antigua; it’s a silent storyteller. Once known as Mount Obama, this peak traded its sugarcane plantation past for a title honoring the US president in 2009, only to revert to its original name in 2016. But the history goes deeper. Imagine this very spot where runaway slaves, seeking refuge, found solace amongst the trees. The “Boogie Man” tales spun by slave masters to instill fear couldn’t hold a candle to the true spirit of freedom found on these slopes. Today, hikers trace those courageous footsteps, the trails leading them past remnants of a vibrant past – dry riverbeds whisper of wetter seasons, and perhaps, a hidden waterfall. While the dense, almost North American-like woods may differ from lusher Caribbean rainforests, they hold a unique charm. And from the peak, embraced by a refreshing breeze, the panorama unfolds. The island’s famed black pineapple fields sprawl below, Cades Reef shimmers offshore, and on a clear day, even distant Montserrat graces the horizon. Boggy Peak, a testament to resilience and natural beauty, offers more than just a view; it’s a glimpse into Antigua’s soul.
