Dernière of the 3 stages of the Boucle du Nord Grande-Terre: Anse-Bertrand, La Porte d'Enfer à La Mahaudière, following the cliffs trace.

Starting from the Porte d'Enfer site, follow the trace of the cliffs which winds southwards (customs officers' path then the Souffleur path) and then obliquely westwards inland to the former Habitation "La Mahaudi", the arrival site of this 3rd tape.

Communes crossed: Anse-Bertrand and Petit-Canal

Author’s recommendation

Do not go near the edge of the cliffs or the Souffleur hole: risk of collapse.NB: beware, lots of sargassum algae in the Porte d'Enfer lagoon.
