Hiking in Guadeloupe

Guadeloupe is a territory in the northern hemisphere located in the Caribbean archipelago or Antilles. Together with its territories, Guadeloupe constitutes an archipelago of 1702 square kilometres.

There are 5 îles that are the Basse-Terre à the west and the Grande-Terre à the east;  la Désirade, Marie-Galante and the îles des Saintes, a small archipelago of 9 îles arid and steepées.

Guadeloupe has a tropical climate, tempered by maritime influences. There are two seasons: a dry season from January to June and a wet season from July to December.

The Guadeloupe archipelago forms a group of territories of exceptional diversity. It constitutes an extraordinarily varied geographical mosaic: to the north of Grande Terre, vertiginous limestone cliffs, and on the mountainous massif of Basse Terre, a humid forest and highland savannahs among the best preserved in the Lesser Antilles.

It should be noted, however, that as hospitable and welcoming as the archipelago is, nature can throw up some surprises. To get the most out of your walks, you need to plan your outings carefully, learn about the weather and equip yourself properly for hiking.

It is important to note that the island is a very hospitable and welcoming place.
