Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest was filmed here
Dominicans are happy to tell tourists that most of this film, as well as certain sequences from the series' third installment, At World's End, were shot on their island. The film's "Cannibal Island" is Dominica; the location where Will Turner and his shipmates are imprisoned in bone cages is Titou Gorge in Morne Trois Pitons National Park; the Indian River was renamed "Pantano River," and various towns served as backdrops for other sequences. If you want to get around Dominia, this is definitely one of the things about Dominica you should know.
The Pelegostos' original town - a completely hypothetical tribe, given there is no cannibalism in the Caribbean – was created at High Meadow, south of the island's capital of Roseau, along with a neighboring location overlooking the main road named Twin Peaks. The lengthy and rickety-looking rope bridge that connects one side of the town to the other was really supported by solid steel pilings. Titou Gorge, in the Morne Trois Pitons National Park, is the abyss in which Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and his shipmates are hung in spherical cages made of bones. The park, which includes the Morne Trois Pitons volcano, is located in Dominica's south-central core. The Indian River, a stretch of shallow water running into the ocean near Portsmouth on Dominica's northeast coast, became the 'Pantano River,' which must be traversed to reach Tia Dalma's treehouse (Naomie Harris). Take a trip along the river, which is bordered by the gnarled roots of mangrove plants.
