Karthala Volcano

de fr

Allow at least an hour and a half for the drive up to the volcano car park before you can enjoy the Karthala caldera. Make sure you bring water, sun cream and warm clothing, depending on the season.

The site is magnificent and accessible to everyone – provided you have a 4x4!

A scenic walk with magnificent views of both the island and the ocean. It may be easier to visit the plantations in the crater before following the ridge. However, it is not possible to complete the full circuit.
