This is the only active volcano on the island and one of the most active in the world.

Firstly. The sites we looked at rated this hike as "Easy"...it is absolutely. NOT! AND..I would not recommend doing this without a guide, you could very easily get yourself into dangerous situations. The drive there is beautiful with lots of stop off/vantage points along the way (again, a good guide will give you lots of important info) then you arrive at the top car park, and the fun begins!! Firstly there is the 180mtr climb, down sheer face of the older larger crater, down rugged steps. From there across the (flattish) bottom plain of the older crater to the summit (3 hours minimum) is a case of stepping from stone to stone, up and down through gullies on and on up 2600 mtrs of rough, ROUGH ground under the blazing sun!!! It is hard!! But the rewards with the views from start to finish and the sense of power a volcano evokes really, REALLY!! Makes it worth the pain! (Don't forget, when you've finished at the top? You've got to do the whole thing in reverse, including that 180mtr climb UP the steps!!!????)

What a beautiful spot for a picnic or just to relax. Anse des Cascades sits on the sea, with great views of the ocean on the one side and waterfalls surrounded by green forest on the other side. There is a restaurant and a takeaway shop. We had some sandwiches from the takeaway shop at a very reasonable price. The kids really enjoyed this as there were lots of paths to explore. A must stop when visiting.

Beautiful Vista. But the drive up the Mountain is equally impressive. The hikes are far and time consuming, but you will enjoy the trip to the top without doing the hikes.

The Savanna distillery offers interesting tours of its industrial site in which you will learn everything you need to know about the rum making process. Obviously a visit to the rum distillery is not complete without a tasting and our guide was exceptionally passionate and knowledgeable about the many different rums she had us taste. We were impressed by the difference in flavours between the creol style and traditional rums and got a much clearer vision on it with this visit. If you love rum or if you don’t know it yet, a visit is a must!
