CARBET FALLS
southwest of Basse-Terre
|
There are therefore three sites to visit at Carbet. Falls
number 2 are the easiest to get to, after an easy hike of
about 30 minutes. They are also the largest of the three falls
with a drop of nearly 360 feet. You'll even get to cross a
lovely suspended bridge. But watch out. This site is overrun
with tourists during tourist season.
The vegetation is lush and well taken care of by the ONF.
Getting to the first of the three waterfalls is a bit
more difficult (41/2 hours to get there and back), but well
worth it for the lovely walk in the wilderness. However, the
waterfalls are not as exciting as falls number 2.

The third falls are really for seasoned hikers
because the walk up hill is very difficult, especially on hot days.
But the sheer force of the waterfalls and its beautiful setting
make visiting these falls the most "wild" experience.
You can take advantage of your trip to the falls
to visit the nearby ponds at Carbet. A both interesting and educational
hike because of the good organization of the site and of the presence
of forest wardens. If you run into one of them, don't hesitate to
ask them any questions you may have or for advice. |
