In a nutshell

Everything is more vivid in the hinterland of Guadeloupe, from the colors of the botanical garden and of the national park to the flavor of its local fruit juices. Your guide will let you discover all of them, together with a whole load of treats. Like the sugarcane plantations and the Cascade aux Écrevisses, so pure you can see your reflection. And you haven’t tasted rum in a local distillery yet!

The programme

Guadeloupe is a treasure waiting to be discovered. Today, the most unmissable locations in its hinterland are just around the corner.
You set off with your guide by bus, heading for Jardin de Valombreuse, the botanical garden. It has around 500 species of flowers and plants, from more well-known ones like anthurium, to more exotic heliconias to the rare white porcelain roses.
After a good local fruit juice, you’re in green as far as the eye can see in the Guadeloupe National Park with more than 22,000 hectares of land and sea.
As you continue on foot, the flowing water reveals its surprise: the little Cascade aux Écrevisse sparkles like diamonds. It owes its name, “crayfish waterfall”, to the species of red crustaceans that lived there.
There’s still one gem in store, it’s here that “agricole”, the authentic Caribbean rum has been produced since 1928. Taste it: you’ll never forget its aroma.

Good to know

Only bring what you need: a backpack with a hat, a raincoat and a canteen full of water.
