The tropical forest

There is no shortage of hiking routes: choose between the coast or the many mountain trails crossed by rivers. Guadeloupe has an ideal climate for hiking all year round. The variety of walks and welcome sites in our archipelago lets us choose our outings according to the weather and the season, so let's make the most of them without taking unnecessary risks.

The Smugglers' Trail

Between Sainte-Rose and Pointe-Noire, it once allowed unauthorised trade (tobacco, alcohol...). Today it makes for a good walk from east to west, to discover mahogany plantations and the mesophilic forest *

• Duration: 4 – 5 h
• Length: 6 km
• Difficulty: easy

Sofaia / Saut des 3 Cornes

Starting from Sofaia and its sulphurous showers, a pretty walk in the forest with a swim in the river and a small waterfall halfway.

• Duration: 1h30

The Sofaia Trail

A fine trail linking the windward coast to the leeward coast. Fairly sporty, it lets you discover the hot springs of Sofaia and the dense forest, crossing the Barre de l'Île.
