The highest mountain in the lesser Antilles is also a volcano and an important landmark of Guadeloupe's landscape.
We never made it to the top because Mother Nature got in the way with wind, rain, fog. Still the effort was satisfying and the occasional breaks in the weather allowed us to see spectacular vistas of countryside and the Caribbean. Not for the faint of heart but well worth the effort. As others have said this is a climb, especially the last portion, and coming down is definitely more difficult if the weather is bad. Good footwear, layers of clothing and water are a necessity.

You know you need lots of vacation photos, so why not take them here? These three waterfalls showcase the natural beauty of the tropical landscape.
We parked the car at the end of the Carbet road where the trail to the third fall starts. Trekking with a 9yr and a 4yr-old kid took about an hour, but could have been done in say half an hour if we'd been adults alone. The trek through the tropical forest was very nice. Forget the slippers and opt for good walking shoes. The third fall is the lowest, but is well worth the visit, as the flow is substantial and falls straight down in the pool which gives free water massage for those who are courageous enough to cross the pond and get hundreds of liters of water poured down per second on top of you. I continued the trek with my 9yr-old for the second fall but turned around appx half-way since my kid was tired (and he wanted to go back to the inn where a well-chrorinated pool was waiting... Kids...) All in all, it's a great way to spend half a day, and don't forget your picnic.

Short, easy walk to a beautiful waterfall. Just passed Maison de la Foret. Well worth the stop if you are in the area.

A Spectacular Botanical Garden and Wildlife Park Open to the public since the 1st April 2001, the Botanical Gardens at Deshaies are a recent creation. This park, whose youth is imperceptible, has very quickly imposed itself as the place to be for nature enthusiasts and lovers of tropical plants. Situated on the windward coast of Basse-Terre, 100m in altitude up above the town of Deshaies, the garden stretches out over 5 hectares of sloping mountainside. Its favourable location guarantees beautiful views over the coast and an unrivalled vantage-point overlooking the bay of Deshaies. The site was already home to a nursery created by Guy Blandin, a plant-lover who brought rare and unknown plant species from his travels around the world back to Guadeloupe. Many of them unfortunately disappeared when Cyclone Hugo hit and severely damaged the island in 1989. The humorist Michel Colluci, also known as Coluche, acquired the property in 1979. A few years later, in 1985, he invited his friend Michel Gaillard, an interior landscaper in mainland France, to set up his nursery there in exchange for taking care of the property's garden. A year later, the death of Coluche brought the future of the property back into question. Michel Gaillard bought back the property in 1991 to honour the memory of his friend, with the idea in mind of creating a botanical garden. This risky and ambitious project required several years of planning, of research into its feasibility and then of execution. The garden was finally brought about in accordance with Michel Gaillard's and the landscaper Samuel Craquelin's plans. Over the course of the path which snakes its way through the gardens, visitors today discover a world of real abundance: a world with 800 species of plant all brought together, with several animal species, which were introduced much to the delight of children, and with the most spectacular and unexpected landscapes following one after the other. Tourists are invited on an unforgettable walk amidst fifteen or so different scenes.
Very nice garden with flowers, trees, plants, parrots, hummingbirds and flamingos. The restaurant has a terrace with beautiful view and good coffee. Play area for small children and a café. All the names of the plants, trees and flowers are in French, would be nice if this is in English too. Some warnings like not to feed the birds with fish food are in English so.. We spend a couple of hours walking in the garden and had a coffee too. 15.50 euro's is a good price.
