Trekking and hiking in Guadeloupe

300 kilometers of hiking trails and paths, 1,800 hectares of tropical forest in nature reserves, Guadeloupe is a land of rich diversity for walkers: forest, steep hills, sheer cliffs, waterfalls and sandy beaches…

Trekking in Guadeloupe

A wide choice of trails is available to both amateur and professional hikers. A topoguide is on sale in bookshops and will enable you to choose hikes in Basse-Terre, the area where nature is at its most exuberant.

Good to know: leave early in the morning, as night falls quickly. Bring good walking shoes because of the mud, a hat, sunscreen, plenty of water, wide pants because of the sharp grass and a windbreaker.

Ideas for outings :
- on Basse-Terre, la trace des Etangs (between 1h30 and 2h), between Capesterre and Matouba and,
- in the surrounding area, the Carbet Falls sports trail in Capesterre. - Near Goyave, the Moreau Falls trail in Goyave (4 hours),
- the tour of La Soufrière (2.5 hours) or - the famous Victor-Hugues trail for experienced hikers, which crosses Basse-Terre and takes in some of its most beautiful sites.
