CARBET FALLS

southwest of Basse-Terre

The falls are located near Soufrière Volcano. There are three falls in all.

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.
