Easy
Departure from Baie-Mahault (Guadeloupe)
An easy walk amongst mango trees and sugarcane fields, near Pointe-à-Pitre, in the centre of Guadeloupe. A favourite spot for joggers, cyclists and walkers who prefer to stick to the only tarmac road. Our route avoids this road and favours the quieter sugarcane farm tracks. There are plenty of views of the large marine cove.

Easy
Departure from Petit-Bourg (Guadeloupe)
This hike takes you along the Moustique River to Moustique Canyon. This beautiful canyon, sculpted by nature, allows you to swim and wade through the water up to its small waterfall. The water is shallow, so adults do not need to swim. You can enjoy the natural surroundings and tranquillity along the river.

Difficult
Departure from Sainte-Rose (Guadeloupe)
Naca Waterfall is situated on the ravine of the same name in the Muraille area of the commune of Sainte-Rose. The challenging route to reach this waterfall consists, in the first part, of a forest walk through vanilla plantations and past gigantic acomats; in the second part, of a water trek to discover the waterfalls and beautiful pools of this river; and finally, of the grand 30-metre waterfall.

Departure from Guadeloupe
A pleasant walk between the sea and the mangroves in an idyllic setting. The sea is like a lake as you are near the Grand Cul-de-Sac Marin. The path leads to several lovely little beaches. Mangroves are present throughout the route, along with other tropical species. Upon arrival on the other side of Pointe Sable de Bar, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the former Beautiran sugar cane loading port and the Petit-Canal dock. A long but easy walk.

Calvaire-Louisiane on the heights of Sainte-Anne

2h 50
Moderate
Departure from Sainte-Anne (Guadeloupe) (Guadeloupe)
I suggest a short walk in the countryside on the heights of Sainte-Anne, in the Grands Fonds, which I call Calvaire-Louisiane. A somewhat hidden path where hills and valleys formed by rainwater runoff follow one another. Between the hills, a maze of dirt tracks links the villages. It won’t be circular, but rather a ‘lollipop’ with its stick. It may be slippery and muddy, but it’s often nicely shaded.
Morne Léger

-650 ft
1h 35
Easy
Departure from Pointe-Noire (Guadeloupe)
Le Morne Léger won’t offer you a sweeping view, but the climb, which is not difficult, will treat you to the lovely atmosphere of a tropical forest.
