Leave the N1 and take the D3 route du Routhiers to Capesterre-Belle-Eau. Signs will guide you if you are coming from Pointe-à-Pitre or Basse-Terre.
(S/E) Start at the end of the D3 at a place called Petit Marquisat.
(1) After the second car park, take the paved path on the right. Admire the mahogany plantations.
(2) Ignore the path opposite leading to the first and second waterfalls, continue to the left and then, after Carbet, turn right. Begin the descent towards the waterfall. The slope is quite steep.
(3) This is a tricky section but there are ropes to help you (see photo). You will arrive at a platform with a view of the falls through a canopy of vegetation.
(4) Take the stairs to reach the pool at the foot of the falls. Enjoy the spectacle of the falls, which are approximately 30 metres high.
To return, take this path in the opposite direction.

. A little mud never hurt anyone. I recommend taking a dip because it's really enjoyable.
