A lovely walk that alternates between beach, mangrove and hills. The walk can be done clockwise (with an uphill section in the second half) or anti-clockwise. Please note, however: during the rainy season, the mangrove section (approximately 150 m after the viewpoint (4) is impassable when walking clockwise!

Take a walk in the cool Montravail Rainforest, located in the hot and dry south of Martinique, which offers a unique atmosphere.

A wild adventure in the heart of Martinique, climbing Morne Chapeau Nègre, located below the famous Piton Lacroix, from Morne Covin.This route is for truly experienced hikers seeking adventure and wilderness , with numerous spiders, snakes and ants present.The trail, often overgrown with dense vegetation, requiresthe use of a machete to clear passages where regrowth is rapid. Several sections therefore require extra effort to progress. The reward comes throughout the hike, via the atmosphere and certain passages offering breathtaking views of Mount Pelée, the Pitons du Carbet and the bay of Fort-de-France.This off-the-beaten-track adventure is ideal for those seeking authenticity and tranquillity, far from the crowds. Prepare yourself for total immersion in the tropical rainforest, where each step brings you closer to communing with nature.
